* Move socket related functions from test.support to socket_helper.
* Import socket, nntplib and urllib.error lazily in transient_internet().
* Remove importing multiprocess.
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):
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242274
Log "Warning -- ..." test warnings into sys.__stderr__ rather than
sys.stderr, to ensure to display them even if sys.stderr is captured.
test.libregrtest.utils.print_warning() now calls
test.support.print_warning().
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Added str.removeprefix and str.removesuffix methods and corresponding
bytes, bytearray, and collections.UserString methods to remove affixes
from a string if present. See PEP 616 for a full description.
The constant values of future flags in the __future__ module
is updated in order to prevent collision with compiler flags.
Previously PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT was clashing
with CO_FUTURE_DIVISION.
* Add underscores to long numbers to improve readability
* Use bigger dataset in the bootstrapping example
* Convert single-server queue example to more useful multi-server queue
Fixes Issue39285
The example incorrectly returned True for match.
Furthermore the example is ambiguous in its usage of PureWindowsPath.
Windows is case-insensitve, however the underlying match functionality
utilizes fnmatch.fnmatchcase.

* Replace PY_INT64_T with int64_t
* Replace PY_UINT32_T with uint32_t
* Replace PY_UINT64_T with uint64_t
sha3module.c no longer checks if PY_UINT64_T is defined since it's
always defined and uint64_t is always available on platforms
supported by Python.
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.
Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().
Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.
The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.
The names "member" and "container" for the arguments are also used in the module and shown with the help() function, and are immediately understandable in this context, contrary to "first" and "second".
Add the encoding in ftplib.FTP and ftplib.FTP_TLS to the
constructor as keyword-only and change the default from "latin-1" to "utf-8"
to follow RFC 2640.
* bpo-39011: Preserve line endings within attributes
Line endings within attributes were previously normalized to "\n" in Py3.7/3.8.
This patch removes that normalization, as line endings which were
replaced by entity numbers should be preserved in original form.
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function to convert a wait status to an
exitcode.
Suggest waitstatus_to_exitcode() usage in the documentation when
appropriate.
Use waitstatus_to_exitcode() in:
* multiprocessing, os, subprocess and _bootsubprocess modules;
* test.support.wait_process();
* setup.py: run_command();
* and many tests.
