Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
test.pythoninfo now logs environment variables used by OpenSSL and
Python ssl modules, and logs attributes of 3 SSL contexts
(SSLContext, default HTTPS context, stdlib context).
* search_for_prefix() directly calls reduce() if found is greater
than 0.
* Add calculate_pybuilddir() subfunction.
* search_for_prefix(): add path string buffer for readability.
* Fix some error handling code paths: release resources on error.
* calculate_read_pyenv(): rename tmpbuffer to filename.
* test.pythoninfo now also logs windows.dll_path
On Windows, test.pythoninfo now checks if support for long paths is
enabled using ntdll.RtlAreLongPathsEnabled() function.

Add a new _testinternalcapi module to test the internal C API.
Move _Py_GetConfigsAsDict() function to the internal C API:
_testembed now uses _testinternalcapi to access the function.
* Add _Py_GetConfigsAsDict() function to get all configurations as a
dict.
* dump_config() of _testembed.c now dumps preconfig as a separated
key: call _Py_GetConfigsAsDict().
* Make _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict() private.
Fix sparse file tests of test_tarfile on ppc64le with the tmpfs
filesystem.
Fix the function testing if the filesystem supports sparse files:
create a file which contains data and "holes", instead of creating a
file which contains no data.
tmpfs effective block size is a page size (tmpfs lives in the page
cache). RHEL uses 64 KiB pages on aarch64, ppc64 and ppc64le, only
s390x and x86_64 use 4 KiB pages, whereas the test punch holes of
4 KiB.
test.pythoninfo: Add resource.getpagesize().
The subprocess module can now use the os.posix_spawn() function
in some cases for better performance. Currently, it is only used on macOS
and Linux (using glibc 2.24 or newer) if all these conditions are met:
* executable path contains a directory
* close_fds=False
* preexec_fn, pass_fds, cwd, stdin, stdout, stderr
and start_new_session parameters are not set

When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
On Travis CI, FTP tests of test_urllib2net randomly fail with "425
Security: Bad IP connecting".
test.pythoninfo now also logs TRAVIS environment variable.
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_SetGlobalConfig(): set also Py_FrozenFlag
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_AsDict(): export also xoptions
* Add _Py_GetGlobalVariablesAsDict() and _testcapi.get_global_config()
* test.pythoninfo: dump also global configuration variables
* _testembed now serializes global, core and main configurations
using JSON to reuse _Py_GetGlobalVariablesAsDict(),
_PyCoreConfig_AsDict() and _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict(),
rather than duplicating code.
* test_embed.InitConfigTests now test much more configuration
variables
* Fix _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Copy():
copy 'install_signal_handlers' attribute
* Add _PyMainInterpreterConfig_AsDict()
* Add unit tests on the main interpreter configuration
to test_embed.InitConfigTests
* test.pythoninfo: log also main_config
* Add _testcapi.get_coreconfig() to get the _PyCoreConfig of the
interpreter
* test.pythoninfo now gets the core configuration using
_testcapi.get_coreconfig()
* Fix also PyInit__gdbm() to catch errors.
* test.pythoninfo: add gdbm.version
* test_dbm_gnu now logs GDBM_VERSION when run in verbose mode.
* pythoninfo: rename function to collect_gdbm()
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
* Add Lib/test/pythoninfo.py: script collecting various informations
about Python to help debugging test failures.
* regrtest: remove sys.hash_info and sys.flags from header.
* Travis CI, Appveyor: run pythoninfo before tests
