Now that the parser generator is written in Python (Parser/pgen) we can make use of it to regenerate the Lib/keyword file that contains the language keywords instead of parsing the autogenerated grammar files. This also allows checking in the CI that the autogenerated files are up to date.
Set type_attr to NULL after the assignment to stgdict->proto (like
what is done with stgdict after the Py_SETREF() call) so that it is
not decrefed twice on error.
bpo-36256: Fix bug in parsermodule when parsing if statements
In the parser module, when validating nodes before starting the parsing with to create a ST in "parser_newstobject" there is a problem that appears when two arcs in the same DFA state has transitions with labels with the same type. For example, the DFA for if_stmt has a state with
two labels with the same type: "elif" and "else" (type NAME). The algorithm tries one by one the arcs until the label that starts the arc transition has a label with the same type of the current child label we are trying to accept. In this case, the arc for "elif" comes before the arc for "else"and passes this test (because the current child label is "else" and has the same type as "elif"). This lead to expecting a namedexpr_test (305) instead of a colon (11). The solution is to compare also the string representation (in case there is one) of the labels to see if the transition that we have is the correct one.
No longer limit repr(structseq) to 512 bytes. Use _PyUnicodeWriter
for better performance and to write directly Unicode rather than
encoding repr() value to UTF-8 and then decoding from UTF-8.
At Python initialization, the current directory is no longer
prepended to sys.path if it has been removed.
Rename _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() to avoid confusion between argv[0]
and sys.path[0].
Python initialization now fails if decoding pybuilddir.txt
configuration file fails at startup.
_PyPathConfig_Calculate() now reports memory allocation failure and
decoding error on decoding pybuilddir.txt content from
UTF-8/surrogateescape.
Fix an unlikely memory leak on conversion from string to float in the
function _Py_dg_strtod() used by float(str), complex(str),
pickle.load(), marshal.load(), etc.
Fix an unlikely memory leak in _Py_dg_strtod() on "undfl:" label:
rewrite memory management in this function to always release all
memory before exiting the function. Initialize variables to NULL, and
set them to NULL after calling Bfree() at the "cont:" label.
Note: Bfree(NULL) is well defined: it does nothing.
This adds a `feature_version` flag to `ast.parse()` (documented) and `compile()` (hidden) that allow tweaking the parser to support older versions of the grammar. In particular if `feature_version` is 5 or 6, the hacks for the `async` and `await` keyword from PEP 492 are reinstated. (For 7 or higher, these are unconditionally treated as keywords, but they are still special tokens rather than `NAME` tokens that the parser driver recognizes.)

Methods are always bound, and `__self__` can no longer be `NULL`
(`method_new()` and `PyMethod_New()` both explicitly check for this).
Moreover, once a bound method is bound, it *stays* bound and won't be re-bound
to something else, so the section in the datamodel that talks about accessing
an methods in a different descriptor-binding context doesn't apply any more in
Python 3.
Use UTF-8 as the system encoding on VxWorks.
The main reason are:
1. The locale is frequently misconfigured.
2. Missing some functions to deal with locale in VxWorks C library.
Pgen is the oldest piece of technology in the CPython repository, building it requires various #if[n]def PGEN hacks in other parts of the code and it also depends more and more on CPython internals. This commit removes the old pgen C code and replaces it for a new version implemented in pure Python. This is a modified and adapted version of lib2to3/pgen2 that can generate grammar files compatibles with the current parser.
This commit also eliminates all the #ifdef and code branches related to pgen, simplifying the code and making it more maintainable. The regen-grammar step now uses $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) that can be any version of the interpreter, so the new pgen code maintains compatibility with older versions of the interpreter (this also allows regenerating the grammar with the current CI solution that uses Python3.5). The new pgen Python module also makes use of the Grammar/Tokens file that holds the token specification, so is always kept in sync and avoids having to maintain duplicate token definitions.
Ensure that the main interpreter is active (in the main thread) for signal-handling operations. This is increasingly relevant as people use subinterpreters more.

Trying to assign a value to __debug__ using the assignment operator is supposed to fail, but
a missing check for forbidden names when setting the context in the ast was preventing this behaviour.
The error message emitted when returning invalid types from __fspath__ in interfaces that allow passing PathLike objects has been improved and now it does explain the origin of the error.
