Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This
speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test
suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build
since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to
wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using
'./configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no
guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who
care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on
the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.

* regrtest: Add --cleanup option to remove "test_python_*" directories
of previous failed test jobs.
* Add "make cleantest" to run "python3 -m test --cleanup".
(cherry picked from commit 47fbc4e45b)
"python3 -m test -jN ..." now continues the execution of next tests
when a worker process crash (CHILD_ERROR state). Previously, the test
suite stopped immediately. Use --failfast to stop at the first error.
Moreover, --forever now also implies --failfast.
regrtest now always detects uncollectable objects. Previously, the
check was only enabled by --findleaks. The check now also works with
-jN/--multiprocess N.
--findleaks becomes a deprecated alias to --fail-env-changed.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
When running the test suite using --use=all / -u all, exclude tzdata
since it makes test_datetime too slow (15-20 min on some buildbots)
which then times out on some buildbots.
-u tzdata must now be enabled explicitly, -u tzdata or -u all,tzdata,
to run all test_datetime tests.
Fix also regrtest command line parser to allow passing -u
extralargefile to run test_zipfile64.
Travis CI: remove -tzdata. Replace -u all,-tzdata,-cpu with -u all,-cpu since tzdata is now excluded from -u all.
* bpo-30764: regrtest: change exit code on failure
* Exit code 2 if failed tests ("bad")
* Exit code 3 if interrupted
* bpo-30764: regrtest: add --fail-env-changed option
If the option is set, mark a test as failed if it alters the
environment, for example if it creates a file without removing it.
* Add a new option taking a filename to get a list of test names to
filter tests.
* support.match_tests becomes a list.
* Modify run_unittest() to accept to match the whole test identifier,
not just a part of a test identifier.
For example, the following command only runs test_default_timeout()
of the BarrierTests class of test_threading:
$ ./python -m test -v test_threading -m test.test_threading.BarrierTests.test_default_timeout
Remove also some empty lines from test_regrtest.py to make flake8
tool happy.
* regrtest now uses subprocesses when the -j1 command line option
is used: each test file runs in a fresh child process. Before, the -j1 option
was ignored.
* Tools/buildbot/test.bat script now uses -j1 by default to run
each test file in fresh child process.
Slaves (child processes running tests for regrtest -jN) now inherit
--memlimit/-M, --threshold/-t and --nowindows/-n options.
* -M, -t and -n are now supported with -jN
* Factorize code to run tests.
* run_test_in_subprocess() now pass the whole "ns" namespace to the child
process.
Start to split regrtest.py into smaller parts with the creation of
Lib/test/libregrtest/cmdline.py: code to handle the command line, especially
parsing command line arguments. This part of the code is tested by
test_regrtest.
