QueryPerformanceFrequency() cannot fail on Windows XP and later according to
its documentation: raise an exception on error and drop the fallback to the
system clock.
Other changes:
* The whole _PyTime API is private (not defined if Py_LIMITED_API is set)
* _PyTime_gettimeofday_info() also returns -1 on error
* Simplify PyTime_gettimeofday(): only use clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) or
gettimeofday() on UNIX. Don't fallback to ftime() or time() anymore.
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) if available. As a side effect, Python now
depends on the librt library on Solaris and on Linux (only with glibc older
than 2.17).
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
On AIX, the C function mktime() alwaysd sets tm_wday, even on error. So tm_wday
cannot be used as a sentinel to detect an error, we can only check if the
result is (time_t)-1.
in struct tm, time.struct_time objects returned by time.gmtime(),
time.localtime() and time.strptime() functions now have tm_zone and
tm_gmtoff attributes. Original patch by Paul Boddie.
Fix also its value on Windows and Linux according to its documentation:
"adjustable" indicates if the clock *can be* adjusted, not if it is or was
adjusted.
In most cases, it is not possible to indicate if a clock is or was adjusted.
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic()
* On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of
QueryPerformanceCounter()
* time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available
* Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time()
functions
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) has a better resolution than gettimeofday().
time.time() falls back on gettimeofday() (and then on other functions) on
error.
* On Mac OS X, time.steady() now uses mach_absolute_time(), a monotonic clock
* Optimistic change: bet that CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME are available
when clock_gettime() is available
* Rewrite time.steady() documentation
time.ctime(), gmtime(), time.localtime(), datetime.date.fromtimestamp(),
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
raises an OverflowError, instead of a ValueError, if the timestamp does not fit
in time_t.
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
round microseconds towards zero instead of rounding to nearest with ties going
away from zero.
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize() and PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() decode a string
from the current locale encoding
* _Py_char2wchar() writes an "error code" in the size argument to indicate
if the function failed because of memory allocation failure or because of a
decoding error. The function doesn't write the error message directly to
stderr.
* Fix time.strftime() (if wcsftime() is missing): decode strftime() result
from the current locale encoding, not from the filesystem encoding.

Have script_helper._assert_python strip refcount strings from stderr.
This makes the output of the function and those that depend on it
independent of whether or not they are being run under a debug
build.

Fix formatting of values with embedded newlines when rfc2047 encoding
Before this patch if a value being encoded had an embedded newline,
the line following the newline would have no leading whitespace,
and the whitespace it did have was encoded into the word. Now
the existing whitespace gets turned into a blank, the way it does
in other header reformatting, and the _continuation_ws gets added
at the beginning of the encoded line.

#10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.
Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
fixes by me.
I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
stat/lstat system calls involved. I also extended Michal's breakout
of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.
........
function will now format any year when time.accept2dyear is false and
will accept years >= 1000 otherwise. The year range accepted by
time.mktime and time.strftime is still system dependent, but
time.mktime will now accept full range supported by the OS. Conversion
of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.
and ctime functions. The year range for time.asctime is now 1900
through maxint. The range for time.ctime is the same as for
time.localtime. The string produced by these functions is longer than
24 characters when year is greater than 9999.
* In asctime and ctime, properly remove the newline if the year has more than four digits
* Consistent error message for both functions
* Fix the test comments and add a check for the removed newline
