PEP 0485 -- A Function for testing approximate equality
Functions added: math.isclose() and cmath.isclose().
Original code by Chris Barker. Patch by Tal Einat.
the file descriptor of a pipe closed in the parent process is valid in the
child process according to fstat(), but the mode of the file descriptor is
invalid, and read or write raise an error.
test.support.requires_mac_ver() is now a decorator, as suggested by Ezio
Melotti, and its docstring is fixed (linux_version => mac_ver).

Issue #8986: erfc was raising OverflowError on Linux for arguments in
the (approximate) range (-27.3, 30.0), as a result of an escaped errno
value.
........
(1) use a different algorithm that roughly halves the total number of
multiplications required and results in more balanced multiplications
(2) use a lookup table for small arguments
(3) fast accumulation of products in C integer arithmetic rather than
PyLong arithmetic when possible.
Typical speedup, from unscientific testing on a 64-bit laptop, is 4.5x
to 6.5x for arguments in the range 100 - 10000.
Patch by Daniel Stutzbach; extensive reviews by Alexander Belopolsky.
