Add --with-experimental-isolated-subinterpreters build option to
configure: better isolate subinterpreters, experimental build mode.
When used, force the usage of the libc malloc() memory allocator,
since pymalloc relies on the unique global interpreter lock (GIL).
Due to backwards compatibility concerns regarding keywords immediately followed by a string without whitespace between them (like in `bg="#d00" if clear else"#fca"`) will fail to parse,
commit 41d5b94af4 has to be reverted.
Before this commit, if an exception was active inside a generator
when calling gen.throw(), that exception was lost (i.e. there was
no implicit exception chaining). This commit fixes that by
setting exc.__context__ when calling gen.throw(exc).
I can add another commit with the new test case I wrote to verify that the warning was being printed before my change, stopped printing after my change, and that the function does not return null after my change.

Otherwise we leave a dangling pointer to free'd memory. If we
then initialize a new interpreter in the same process and call
PyImport_ExtendInittab, we will (likely) crash when calling
PyMem_RawRealloc(inittab_copy, ...) since the pointer address
is bogus.

An isolated subinterpreter cannot spawn threads, spawn a child
process or call os.fork().
* Add private _Py_NewInterpreter(isolated_subinterpreter) function.
* Add isolated=True keyword-only parameter to
_xxsubinterpreters.create().
* Allow again os.fork() in "non-isolated" subinterpreters.

Remove _random.Random.randbytes(): the C implementation of
randbytes(). Implement the method in Python to ease subclassing:
randbytes() now directly reuses getrandbits().
New PyFrame_GetBack() function: get the frame next outer frame.
Replace frame->f_back with PyFrame_GetBack(frame) in most code but
frameobject.c, ceval.c and genobject.c.
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
PyFrame_GetCode(frame): return a borrowed reference to the frame
code.
Replace frame->f_code with PyFrame_GetCode(frame) in most code,
except in frameobject.c, genobject.c and ceval.c.
Also add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Adds a short description of `PyDoc_STRVAR` and `PyDoc_STR` to "Useful macros" section of C-API docs.
Currently, there is [one lone mention](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/module.html?highlight=pydoc_strvar#c.PyModuleDef) in the C-API reference, despite the fact that `PyDoc_STRVAR` is ubiquitous to `Modules/`.
Additionally, this properly uses `c:macro` within `Doc/c-api/module.rst` to link.
This is one of the few files that has intimate knowledge of the pyc file
format. Since it lacks tests it tends to become outdated fairly quickly.
At present it has been broken since the introduction of PEP 552.
Optimize the subprocess module on FreeBSD using closefrom().
A single close(fd) syscall is cheap, but when sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)
is high, the loop calling close(fd) on each file descriptor can take
several milliseconds.
The workaround on FreeBSD to improve performance was to load and
mount the fdescfs kernel module, but this is not enabled by default.

On FreeBSD, os.closerange(fd_low, fd_high) now calls
closefrom(fd_low) if fd_high is greater than or equal to
sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).
