The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
The running loop holder cache variable was always set to NULL when
calling set_running_loop.
Now set_running_loop saves the newly created running loop holder in the
cache variable for faster access in get_running_loop.

This updates _PyErr_ChainStackItem() to use _PyErr_SetObject()
instead of _PyErr_ChainExceptions(). This prevents a hang in
certain circumstances because _PyErr_SetObject() performs checks
to prevent cycles in the exception context chain while
_PyErr_ChainExceptions() doesn't.
When an asyncio.Task is cancelled, the exception traceback now
starts with where the task was first interrupted. Previously,
the traceback only had "depth one."
Update _asyncio, _bz2, _csv, _curses, _datetime,
_io, _operator, _pickle, _queue, blake2,
multibytecodec and overlapped C extension modules
to use PyModule_AddType().

bpo-38248, bpo-38321: Fix warning:

The related goto has been removed by
commit edad4d89e3.
Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.
This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.
This will address the common mistake many asyncio users make:
an "except Exception" clause breaking Tasks cancellation.
In addition to this change, we stop inheriting asyncio.TimeoutError
and asyncio.InvalidStateError from their concurrent.futures.*
counterparts. There's no point for these exceptions to share the
inheritance chain.
In 3.9 we'll focus on implementing supervisors and cancel scopes,
which should allow better handling of all exceptions, including
SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt
The C implementation of asyncio.Task currently fails to perform the
cancellation cleanup correctly in the following scenario.
async def task1():
async def task2():
await task3 # task3 is never cancelled
asyncio.current_task().cancel()
await asyncio.create_task(task2())
The actuall error is a hardcoded call to `future_cancel()` instead of
calling the `cancel()` method of a future-like object.
Thanks to Vladimir Matveev for noticing the code discrepancy and to
Yury Selivanov for coming up with a pathological scenario.
