* Raise the limit of maximum path depth to actual recursion limit
* Add posibilities to adjust a path compiled in .pyc file.
Now, you can:
- Strip a part of path from a beggining of path into compiled file
example "-s /test /test/build/real/test.py" → "build/real/test.py"
- Append some new path to a beggining of path into compiled file
example "-p /boo real/test.py" → "/boo/real/test.py"
You can also use both options in the same time. In that case,
striping is done before appending.
* Add a possibility to specify multiple optimization levels
Each optimization level then leads to separated compiled file.
Use `action='append'` instead of `nargs='+'` for the -o option.
Instead of `-o 0 1 2`, specify `-o 0 -o 1 -o 2`. It's more to type,
but much more explicit.
* Add a symlinks limitation feature
This feature allows us to limit byte-compilation of symbolic
links if they are pointing outside specified dir (build root
for example).
* Add test_embed.test_init_setpath_config(): test Py_SetPath()
with PyConfig.
* test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() no longer call
Py_SetProgramName(), but use the default program name.
* _PyPathConfig: isolated, site_import and base_executable
fields are now only available on Windows.
* If executable is set explicitly in the configuration, ignore
calculated base_executable: _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() copies
executable to base_executable.
* Complete path config documentation.
Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path
(Py_GetProgramFullPath()), rather than to the program name
(Py_GetProgramName()).
Fix also memory leaks in pathconfig_set_from_config().
Mention frame.f_trace in sys.settrace docs, as well as the fact you still
need to call `sys.settrace` to enable the tracing machinery before setting
`frame.f_trace` will have any effect.
This PR replaces the old note mentioning that `typing` is a provisional module with a new one mentioning types are not enforced at runtime. I am not sure if there was any official announcement about making `typing` non-provisional, but _de-facto_ no new features were added during Python 3.7, and no backwards incompatible changes were made except for few small things that were considered bugs.
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek).
The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):
```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``. The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument. A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point. *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```
For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.
Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

* This just copies the docs from `StreamWriter` and `StreamReader`.
* Add docstring for asyncio functions.

The usedforsecurity keyword only argument added to the hash constructors is useful for FIPS builds and similar restrictive environment with non-technical requirements that legacy algorithms be forbidden by their implementations without being explicitly annotated as not being used for any security related purposes. Linux distros with FIPS support benefit from this being standard rather than making up their own way(s) to do it.

* subprocess: Add user, group and extra_groups paremeters to subprocess.Popen
This adds a `user` parameter to the Popen constructor that will call
setreuid() in the child before calling exec(). This allows processes
running as root to safely drop privileges before running the subprocess
without having to use a preexec_fn.
This also adds a `group` parameter that will call setregid() in
the child process before calling exec().
Finally an `extra_groups` parameter was added that will call
setgroups() to set the supplimental groups.
