bpo-40730: Remove redundant 'to' (GH-20316)
@ericvsmith I guess it is correct to merge it into master and not 3.9 directly?

bpo-40630: Add tracemalloc.reset_peak (GH-20102)
The reset_peak function sets the peak memory size to the current size,
representing a resetting of that metric. This allows for recording the
peak of specific sections of code, ignoring other code that may have
had a higher peak (since the most recent `tracemalloc.start()` or
tracemalloc.clear_traces()` call).

bpo-26317: Support OBJC and OBJCXX configure command line variables (GH-20176)
Add support to the configure script for OBJC and OBJCXX command line options so that the macOS builds can use the clang compiler for the macOS-specific Objective C source files. This allows third-party compilers, like GNU gcc, to be used to build the rest of the project since some of the Objective C system header files are not compilable by GNU gcc.

bpo-40536: Add zoneinfo.available_timezones (GH-20158)
This was not specified in the PEP, but it will likely be a frequently requested feature if it's not included.

This includes only the "canonical" zones, not a simple listing of every valid value of `key` that can be passed to `Zoneinfo`, because it seems likely that that's what people will want.

bpo-24416: Return named tuple from date.isocalendar() (GH-20113)
{date, datetime}.isocalendar() now return a private custom named tuple object
IsoCalendarDate rather than a simple tuple.

In order to leave IsocalendarDate as a private class and to improve what
backwards compatibility is offered for pickling the result of a
datetime.isocalendar() call, add a __reduce__ method to the named tuples that
reduces them to plain tuples. (This is the part of this PR most likely to cause
problems — if it causes major issues, switching to a strucseq or equivalent
would be prudent).

The pure python implementation of IsoCalendarDate uses positional-only
arguments, since it is private and only constructed by position anyway; the
equivalent change in the argument clinic on the C side would require us to move
the forward declaration of the type above the clinic import for whatever
reason, so it seems preferable to hold off on that for now.

bpo-40607: Reraise exception during task cancelation in asyncio.wait_for() (GH-20054)
Currently, if asyncio.wait_for() timeout expires, it cancels
inner future and then always raises TimeoutError. In case
those future is task, it can handle cancelation mannually,
and those process can lead to some other exception. Current
implementation silently loses thoses exception.

To resolve this, wait_for will check was the cancelation
successfull or not. In case there was exception, wait_for
will reraise it.

* 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.

bpo-40421: Add PyFrame_GetCode() function (GH-19757)
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.

bpo-40421: Add pyframe.h header file (GH-19755)
Add a new separated pyframe.h header file of the PyFrame public C
API: it is included by Python.h.

Add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.

Replace "struct _frame" with "PyFrameObject" in header files.
PyFrameObject is now defined as struct _frame by pyframe.h which is
included early enough in Python.h.

bpo-38387: Formally document PyDoc_STRVAR and PyDoc_STR macros (GH-16607)
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.

bpo-38061: subprocess uses closefrom() on FreeBSD (GH-19697)
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.

Initial patch by Ed Maste (emaste), Conrad Meyer (cem), Kyle Evans
(kevans) and Kubilay Kocak (koobs):
