Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
The C-API docs are a bit sparse on the interplay between C `fork()` and the CPython runtime. This change adds some more information on the subject.

Small docs update for [bpo-34651](https://bugs.python.org/issue34651).
Other references to fork (e.g. the PyOS.*Fork functions or discussions of fork() when embedding Python) point back to os.fork, so I don't think any other updates are needed.

* "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``"
if the function actually returns a bool.
* Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace).
* Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool.
* Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code.
* "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".

Updates documentation around email.utils.parsedate_tz().
Currently, the documentation specifies that when a string without a is timezone passed to parsedate_tz(), the last tuple is returned as ```None```.
This is no longer true since Python 3.3

bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==
NULL" test.
Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.
_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.
Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as
regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined
as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which
cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field.
Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.
Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.
* Add missing test class (mistake in GH-4455)
* Increase coverage with 4 more test cases
* Rename neg_uid to huge_uid in test_modified_uid_huge
* Replace test_main() with unittest.main()
* Update plistlib docs
