Maxwell A McKinnon cf57cabef8 bpo-32689: Updates shutil.move to allow for Path objects to be used as source arg (GH-15326)
Important work originally done by @emilyemorehouse two years ago and nearly ready to go in.

This bug has affected many people and in some cases has been a dealbreaker to the adoption of the otherwise wonderful pathlib and PEP519. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33625931/copy-file-with-pathlib-in-python.

This adds the outstanding test request from that PR @vstinner (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5393).

Test fails without the change, passes with it, along with every other test in test_shutil.

Some variants were experimented with to make the one line change and the most performant one was picked.

# Performance Considerations
Is it considered poor form to get rid of _basename altogether and make use of pathlib in the move function? I'm not sure if the idea is for all these modules to strictly avoid circular dependencies. They are already using os.path which is just as much a citizen in 3.8 as pathlib right?

e.g.

`real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))`
becomes
`real_dst = Path(dst) / Path(src).name`

I've looked around and familiarized myself, and I now think importing pathlib here is fine. My only remaining concern is that of performance.

Here's the performance difference for this step. 

```
In [46]: %timeit real_dst = os.path.join("a/b/c", _basename('b/'))
2.71 µs ± 62.6 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

In [47]: %timeit real_dst = Path("a/b/c") / Path('b/').name
12.4 µs ± 65.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
```

Is 10us significant or insignificant compared to the least expensive operation this function will do? I don't know. Let's find out.

```
In [55]: %timeit os.rename('/tmp/a/a.txt', '/tmp/a/b.txt'); os.rename('/tmp/a/b.txt', '/tmp/a/a.txt')
124 µs ± 2.18 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
62us to rename. 10us seems significant enough that we wouldn't want to favor the Path sugar suggestion. 16% speed decrease from adding the 10us.

What do people think? I was hoping to get to use pathlib.Path here, but I suspect for this low level move, it should be as fast as possible, and 16% is not worth one line of sugary code to me.

Lumír 'Frenzy' Balhar 8e7bb991de bpo-38112: Compileall improvements (GH-16012)
* Raise the limit of maximum path depth to actual  recursion limit

* Add posibilities to adjust a path compiled in .pyc  file.

Now, you can:
- Strip a part of path from a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-s /test /test/build/real/test.py" → "build/real/test.py"
- Append some new path to a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-p /boo real/test.py" → "/boo/real/test.py"

You can also use both options in the same time. In that case,
striping is done before appending.

* Add a possibility to specify multiple optimization levels

Each optimization level then leads to separated compiled file.
Use `action='append'` instead of `nargs='+'` for the -o option.
Instead of `-o 0 1 2`, specify `-o 0 -o 1 -o 2`. It's more to type,
but much more explicit.

* Add a symlinks limitation feature

This feature allows us to limit byte-compilation of symbolic
links if they are pointing outside specified dir (build root
for example).

bpo-38234: Add test_init_setpath_config() to test_embed (GH-16402)
* Add test_embed.test_init_setpath_config(): test Py_SetPath()
  with PyConfig.
* test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() no longer call
  Py_SetProgramName(), but use the default program name.
* _PyPathConfig: isolated, site_import  and base_executable
  fields are now only available on Windows.
* If executable is set explicitly in the configuration, ignore
  calculated base_executable: _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() copies
  executable to base_executable.
* Complete path config documentation.

Kyle Stanley ff603f6c3d bpo-37635: Update arg name for seek() in IO tutorial (GH-16147)
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek). 

The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):

```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``.  The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument.  A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point.  *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```

For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.

Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

* subprocess: Add user, group and extra_groups paremeters to subprocess.Popen

This adds a `user` parameter to the Popen constructor that will call
setreuid() in the child before calling exec(). This allows processes
running as root to safely drop privileges before running the subprocess
without having to use a preexec_fn.

This also adds a `group` parameter that will call setregid() in
the child process before calling exec().

Finally an `extra_groups` parameter was added that will call
setgroups() to set the supplimental groups.
