Fix a ctypes regression of Python 3.8. When a ctypes.Structure is
passed by copy to a function, ctypes internals created a temporary
object which had the side effect of calling the structure finalizer
(__del__) twice. The Python semantics requires a finalizer to be
called exactly once. Fix ctypes internals to no longer call the
finalizer twice.
Create a new internal StructParam_Type which is only used by
_ctypes_callproc() to call PyMem_Free(ptr) on Py_DECREF(argument).
StructUnionType_paramfunc() creates such object.
The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

This commit contains the implementation of PEP570: Python positional-only parameters.
* Update Grammar/Grammar with new typedarglist and varargslist
* Regenerate grammar files
* Update and regenerate AST related files
* Update code object
* Update marshal.c
* Update compiler and symtable
* Regenerate importlib files
* Update callable objects
* Implement positional-only args logic in ceval.c
* Regenerate frozen data
* Update standard library to account for positional-only args
* Add test file for positional-only args
* Update other test files to account for positional-only args
* Add News entry
* Update inspect module and related tests
This test case needs "signed short" bitfields, but the
IBM XLC compiler (on AIX) does not support this.
Skip the code and test when AIX and XLC are used.
Use __xlc__ as identifier to detect the XLC compiler.
Raise ValueError OverflowError in case of a negative
_length_ in a ctypes.Array subclass. Also raise TypeError
instead of AttributeError for non-integer _length_.

* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
Ctypes currently produces wrong pep3118 type codes for several types.
E.g. memoryview(ctypes.c_long()).format gives "<l" on 64-bit platforms,
but it should be "<q" instead for sizeof(c_long) == 8
The problem is that the '<>' endian specification in the struct syntax
also turns on the "standard size" mode, which makes type characters have
a platform-independent meaning, which does not match with the codes used
internally in ctypes. The struct module format syntax also does not
allow specifying native-size non-native-endian items.
This commit adds a converter function that maps the internal ctypes
codes to appropriate struct module standard-size codes in the pep3118
format strings. The tests are modified to check for this.
Based on patch by Victor Stinner.
Add private C API function _PyUnicode_AsUnicode() which is similar to
PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), but checks for null characters.
Disable faulthandler to run test_SEH() of test_ctypes to prevent the
following log with a traceback:
Windows fatal exception: access violation
Add support.disable_faulthandler() context manager.
* init commit, with initial tests for from_param and fields __set__ and __get__, and some additions to from_buffer and from_buffer_copy
* added the rest of tests and patches. probably only a first draft.
* removed trailing spaces
* replace ctype with ctypes in error messages
* change back from ctypes instance to ctype instance
* Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.
Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).
* Reverted unintended whitespace changes.
