Martin Panter b8c5f54248 Issue #26638: Work around more CLI options that can’t be linked

* Mask out linking for options that no longer exist in Python 3

Brett Cannon 15552c39e0 Issue #27285: Document the deprecation of the pyvenv script.
As part of the update, the documentation was updated to normalize
around the term "virtual environment" instead of relying too heavily
on "venv" for the same meaning and leading to inconsistent usage of
either.

Thanks to Steve Piercy for the patch.

Victor Stinner 34be807ca4 Add PYTHONMALLOC env var
Issue #26516:

* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
  allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
  mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
  compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
  when Python is configured without pymalloc.
