The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.
For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).
Remove the global _Py_CheckRecursionLimit variable: it has been
replaced by ceval.recursion_limit of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
There is no need to keep the variable for the stable ABI, since
Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() were not usable
in Python 3.8 and older: these macros accessed PyThreadState members,
whereas the PyThreadState structure is opaque in the limited C API.
The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
Partially revert commit ac46eb4ad6662cf6d771b20d8963658b2186c48c:
"bpo-38113: Update the Python-ast.c generator to PEP384 (gh-15957)".
Using a module state per module instance is causing subtle practical
problems.
For example, the Mercurial project replaces the __import__() function
to implement lazy import, whereas Python expected that "import _ast"
always return a fully initialized _ast module.
Add _PyAST_Fini() to clear the state at exit.
The _ast module has no state (set _astmodule.m_size to 0). Remove
astmodule_traverse(), astmodule_clear() and astmodule_free()
functions.
Fix GCC 9.3 (using -O3) warnings on x86:
initconfig.c: In function ‘init_dump_ascii_wstr’:
initconfig.c:2679:34: warning: format ‘%lc’ expects argument of type
‘wint_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘wchar_t’ {aka ‘long int’}

* bpo-41524: fix pointer bug in PyOS_mystr{n}icmp
The existing implementations of PyOS_mystrnicmp and PyOS_mystricmp
can increment pointers beyond the end of a string.
This commit fixes those cases by moving the mutation out of the condition.

* Merge gen and frame state variables into one.
* Replace stack pointer with depth in PyFrameObject. Makes code easier to read and saves a word of memory.
Fix a crash in the _ast module: it can no longer be loaded more than
once. It now uses a global state rather than a module state.
* Move _ast module state: use a global state instead.
* Set _astmodule.m_size to -1, so the extension cannot be loaded more
than once.
Rework asdl_c.py to pass the module state to functions in
Python-ast.c, instead of using astmodulestate_global.
Handle also PyState_AddModule() failure in init_types().
Add sys.orig_argv attribute: the list of the original command line
arguments passed to the Python executable.
Rename also PyConfig._orig_argv to PyConfig.orig_argv and
document it.
This commit changes the parsing of f-string expressions with the new parser. The parser gets pre-fed with the location of the expression itself (not the f-string, which was what we were doing before). This allows us to completely skip the shifting of the AST nodes after the parsing is completed.
Always create the empty bytes string singleton.
Optimize PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(str, 0): it no longer has to check
if the empty string singleton was created or not, it is always
available.
Add functions:
* _PyBytes_Init()
* bytes_get_empty(), bytes_new_empty()
* bytes_create_empty_string_singleton()
* unicode_create_empty_string_singleton()
_Py_unicode_state: rename empty structure member to empty_string.
Py_InitializeFromConfig() now always creates the empty tuple
singleton as soon as possible.
Optimize PyTuple_New(0): it no longer has to check if the empty tuple
was created or not, it is always creatd.
* Add tuple_create_empty_tuple_singleton() function.
* Add tuple_get_empty() function.
* Remove state parameter of tuple_alloc().
Each interpreter now has its own MemoryError free list: it is not
longer shared by all interpreters.
Add _Py_exc_state structure and PyInterpreterState.exc_state member.
Move also errnomap into _Py_exc_state.
* Revert "bpo-40521: Make the empty frozenset per interpreter (GH-21068)"
This reverts commit 261cfedf76.
* bpo-40521: Empty frozensets are no longer singletons
* Complete the removal of the frozenset singleton
