Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().

After:
```
content.txt is 42 bytes in size and is a regular file.
folder is 420 bytes in size and is a directory.
magic is 4200 bytes in size and is something else.

The topological sort functionality that was introduced initially in the
functools module has been moved to a new graphlib module to
better accommodate the new tools and keep the original scope of the
functools module.
When I wrote the documentation for `asyncio.to_thread()`, I mistakenly assumed that `return await loop.run_in_executor(...)` within an async def function would return a Future. In reality, it returns a coroutine.
This likely won't affect typical usage of `asyncio.to_thread()`, but it's important for the documentation to be correct here. In general, we also tend to avoid returning futures from high-level APIs in asyncio.
* bpo-29882: Add an efficient popcount method for integers
* Update 'sign bit' and versionadded in docs
* Add entry to whatsnew document
* Doc: use positive example, mention population count
* Minor cleanups of the core code
* Move popcount_digit closer to where it's used
* Use z instead of self after conversion
* Add 'absolute value' and 'population count' to docstring
* Fix clinic error about missing summary line
* Ensure popcount_digit is portable with 64-bit ints

Try to make the meaning of platlibdir clear. The previous wording could
be misinterpreted to suggest that it will be used to find all shared
libraries on the system, and not just Python extensions. Furthermore,
it was unclear whether it affects third-party (site-packages) extensions
or not. The new wording tries to make its dual purpose clear,
and provide the additional example of extensions in site-packages.
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
* Use a more universal explanation of string interpolation rather than specifically referencing sprintf(), which depends on the reader having a C background.

hashlib.compare_digest uses OpenSSL's CRYPTO_memcmp() function
when OpenSSL is available.
Note: The _operator module is a builtin module. I don't want to add
libcrypto dependency to libpython. Therefore I duplicated the wrapper
function and added a copy to _hashopenssl.c.
Convert Py_REFCNT() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline functions.
They cannot be used as l-value anymore: use Py_SET_REFCNT() and
Py_SET_SIZE() to set an object reference count and size.
Replace &Py_SIZE(self) with &((PyVarObject*)self)->ob_size
in arraymodule.c.
This change is backward incompatible on purpose, to prepare the C API
for an opaque PyObject structure.
* Fix outdated __int__ and nb_int references in comments
* Also update C-API documentation
* Add back missing 'method' word
* Remove .. deprecated notices
