The Windows build now depends on Python 3.6 to fetch externals, but it will be downloaded via NuGet (which is downloaded via PowerShell) if it is not available via `py -3.6`. This means the only thing that must be installed on a modern Windows box to do a full build of CPython with all extensions is Visual Studio.
Also fixes an outdated note about _lzma in PCbuild/readme.txt
(cherry-picked from commit 51599e2bdd)
unittest.TestCase.assertRaises() now manually breaks a
reference cycle to not keep objects alive longer than expected.
(cherry picked from commit bbd3cf8f1e)
the original logic was just comparing the network address
but this is wrong because if the network address is equal then
we need to compare the ip address for breaking the tie
add more ip_interface comparison tests.

* bpo-29591: Upgrade Modules/expat to libexpat 2.2
* bpo-29591: Restore Python changes on expat
* bpo-29591: Remove expat config of unsupported platforms
Remove the configuration (Modules/expat/*config.h) of unsupported
platforms:
* Amiga
* MacOS Classic on PPC32
* Open Watcom
* bpo-29591: Remove useless XML_HAS_SET_HASH_SALT
The XML_HAS_SET_HASH_SALT define of Modules/expat/expat.h became
useless since our local expat copy was upgrade to expat 2.1 (it's now
expat 2.2.0).
(cherry picked from commit 23ec4b57e1)
The public cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu IMAP server (port 993) doesn't accept
TLS connection using our self-signed x509 certificate. Remove the two
tests which are already skipped.
Write a new test_certfile_arg_warn() unit test for the certfile
deprecation warning.
(cherry picked from commit b18563da88)
Before, Enter would not, for instance, complete 're.c' to 're.compile' even with 'compile' highlighted. Now it does. Before, '\n' was inserted into text, which in Shell meant compile() and possibly execute. Now cursor is left after completion.

* bpo-30649: test_os tolerates 50 ms delta for utime (#2156)
On Windows, tolerate a delta of 50 ms instead of 20 ms in
test_utime_current() and test_utime_current_old() of test_os.
On other platforms, reduce the delta from 20 ms to 10 ms.
(cherry picked from commit c94caca65c)
* bpo-30649: Revert utime delta in test_os (#2176)
PPC64 Fedora 3.x buildbot requires at least a delta of 14 ms: revert
the utime delta to 20 ms.
I tried 10 ms, but test_os failed on the PPC64 Fedora 3.x buildbot.
(cherry picked from commit 3402f72688)
When IDLE fail to start because the socket connection fails, direct people to a new subsection of the IDLE doc listing various causes and remedies.
(cherry picked from commit 188aedf8bb)
* bpo-24484: Avoid race condition in multiprocessing cleanup
The finalizer registry can be mutated while inspected by multiprocessing
at process exit.
* Use test.support.start_threads()
* Add Misc/NEWS.
(cherry picked from commit 1eb6c0074d)
Add a test to check the current MAGIC_NUMBER against the
expected number for the release if the current release is
at candidate or final level. On test failure, describe to
the developer the procedure for changing the magic number.
This ensures that pre-merge CI will automatically pick up
on magic number changes in maintenance releases (and
explain why those are problematic), rather than relying on
all core developers to be aware of the implications of
such changes.
Replace __PyCodeExtraState_Get() with __PyCodeExtraState_Get(void) to
fix the following GCC warning:
./Include/pystate.h:63:1: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
__PyCodeExtraState* __PyCodeExtraState_Get();
* Move co_extra_freefuncs to interpreter state to avoid crashes in
multi-threaded scenarios involving deletion of code objects
* Don't require that extra be zero initialized
* Build test list instead of defining empty test class
* Ensure extra is always assigned on success
* Keep the old fields in the thread state object, just don't use them
Add new linked list of code extra objects on a per-interpreter basis
so that interpreter state size isn't changed
* Rename __PyCodeExtraState_Get and add comment about it going away in 3.7
Fix sort order of import's in test_code.py
* Remove an extraneous space
* Remove docstrings for comments
* Touch up formatting
* Fix casing of coextra local
* Fix casing of another variable
* Prefix PyCodeExtraState with __ to match C API for getting it
* Update NEWS file for bpo-30604
