* Add DICT_UPDATE and DICT_MERGE bytecodes. Use them for ** unpacking.
* Remove BUILD_MAP_UNPACK and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL, as they are now unused.
* Update magic number for ** unpacking opcodes.
* Update dis.rst to incorporate new bytecodes.
* Add blurb entry.
* Add three new bytecodes: LIST_TO_TUPLE, LIST_EXTEND, SET_UPDATE. Use them to implement star unpacking expressions.
* Remove four bytecodes BUILD_LIST_UNPACK, BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK, BUILD_SET_UNPACK and BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL opcodes as they are now unused.
* Update magic number and dis.rst for new bytecodes.
Break up COMPARE_OP into four logically distinct opcodes:
* COMPARE_OP for rich comparisons
* IS_OP for 'is' and 'is not' tests
* CONTAINS_OP for 'in' and 'is not' tests
* JUMP_IF_NOT_EXC_MATCH for checking exceptions in 'try-except' statements.
Remove BEGIN_FINALLY, END_FINALLY, CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY bytecodes. Implement finally blocks by code duplication.
Reimplement frame.lineno setter using line numbers rather than bytecode offsets.
The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.

`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` was duplicated as the opcode for both var-positional and var-keyword arguments. The opcode for the former was updated as `BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL`.
Coroutines and async generators use a distinct attribute name for their
code objects, so this updates the `dis` module to correctly disassemble
objects with those attributes.
Due to the increase in the test module length, it also fixes some latent
defects in the tests related to how the displayed source line numbers
are extracted.
https://bugs.python.org/issue31230 is a follow-up issue suggesting we
may want to solve this a different way, by instead giving all these object
types a common `__code__` attribute, avoiding the need for special
casing in the `dis` module.
Summary of changes:
1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.
As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
no longer applied to coroutines.
2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the
interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.
[The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]
3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to
allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.
Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:
(o)
GET_ITER
LOAD_CONST
YIELD_FROM
Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.
The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
a coroutine object is invalid.
4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).
5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
should really be tailored for checking for native types.
6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports
any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
not work for all types of coroutines.
7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
to raise clearer messages for coroutines:
Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
