bpo-42260: PyConfig_Read() only parses argv once (GH-23168)
The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.

* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
  configuration.

bpo-41435: Add sys._current_exceptions() function (GH-21689)

sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running

bpo-42230: Improve asyncio documentation regarding accepting sets vs iterables (GH-23073)
People call wait() and as_completed() with various non-set iterables,
a list should be the most common but there are others as well[1].

Considering typeshed also documents wait()[2] and as_completed()[3]
as accepting arbitrary iterables I think it's a good idea to document
the status quo better.

bpo-41229: Update docs for explicit aclose()-required cases and add contextlib.aclosing() method (GH-21545)
This is a PR to:

 * Add `contextlib.aclosing` which ia analogous to `contextlib.closing` but for async-generators with an explicit test case for [bpo-41229]()
 * Update the docs to describe when we need explicit `aclose()` invocation.

which are motivated by the following issues, articles, and examples:

 * [bpo-41229]()
 * https://github.com/njsmith/async_generator
 * https://vorpus.org/blog/some-thoughts-on-asynchronous-api-design-in-a-post-asyncawait-world/#cleanup-in-generators-and-async-generators
 * https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/
 * https://github.com/achimnol/aiotools/blob/ef7bf0cea7af/src/aiotools/context.py#L152

Particuarly regarding [PEP-533](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/), its acceptance (`__aiterclose__()`) would make this little addition of `contextlib.aclosing()` unnecessary for most use cases, but until then this could serve as a good counterpart and analogy to `contextlib.closing()`. The same applies for `contextlib.closing` with `__iterclose__()`.
Also, still there are other use cases, e.g., when working with non-generator objects with `aclose()` methods.

bpo-42236: Use UTF-8 encoding if nl_langinfo(CODESET) fails (GH-23086)
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.

In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.

In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.

In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.

Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.

While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)

Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.

bpo-30681: Support invalid date format or value in email Date header (GH-22090)
I am re-submitting an older PR which was abandoned but is still relevant, #10783 by @timb07.

The issue being solved () is still relevant. The original PR #10783 was closed as
the final request changes were not applied and since abandoned.

In this new PR I have re-used the original patch plus applied both comments from the review, by @maxking and @pganssle.


For reference, here is the original PR description:
In email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime(), a failure to parse the date, or invalid date components (such as hour outside 0..23) raises an exception. Document this behaviour, and add tests to test_email/test_utils.py to confirm this behaviour.

In email.headerregistry.DateHeader.parse(), check when parsedate_to_datetime() raises an exception and add a new defect InvalidDateDefect; preserve the invalid value as the string value of the header, but set the datetime attribute to None.

Add tests to test_email/test_headerregistry.py to confirm this behaviour; also added test to test_email/test_inversion.py to confirm emails with such defective date headers round trip successfully.

This pull request incorporates feedback gratefully received from @bitdancer, @brettcannon, @Mariatta and @warsaw, and replaces the earlier PR #2254.
