* bpo-36389: _PyObject_CheckConsistency() available in release mode (GH-16612)
bpo-36389, bpo-38376: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is
now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to
debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.
Modify the following functions to also work in release mode:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
Other changes:
* _PyMem_IsPtrFreed(ptr) now also returns 1 if ptr is NULL
(equals to 0).
* _PyBytesWriter_CheckConsistency() now returns 1 and is only used
with assert().
* Reorder _PyObject_Dump() to write safe fields first, and only
attempt to render repr() at the end.
(cherry picked from commit 6876257eaa)
* bpo-36389: Fix _PyBytesWriter in release mode (GH-16624)
Fix _PyBytesWriter API when Python is built in release mode with
assertions.
(cherry picked from commit 60ec6efd96)
* bpo-38070: Enhance visit_decref() debug trace (GH-16631)
subtract_refs() now pass the parent object to visit_decref() which
pass it to _PyObject_ASSERT(). So if the "is freed" assertion fails,
the parent is used in debug trace, rather than the freed object. The
parent object is more likely to contain useful information. Freed
objects cannot be inspected are are displayed as "<object at xxx is
freed>" with no other detail.
(cherry picked from commit 4d5f94b8cd)
* Fix also a typo in PYMEM_DEADBYTE macro comment
* bpo-36389: Add newline to _PyObject_AssertFailed() (GH-16629)
Add a newline between the verbose object dump and the Py_FatalError()
logs for readability.

The instance destructor for a type is responsible for preparing
an instance for deallocation by decrementing the reference counts
of its referents.
If an instance belongs to a heap type, the type object of an instance
has its reference count decremented while for static types, which
are permanently allocated, the type object is unaffected by the
instance destructor.
Previously, the default instance destructor searched the class
hierarchy for an inherited instance destructor and, if present,
would invoke it.
Then, if the instance type is a heap type, it would decrement the
reference count of that heap type. However, this could result in the
premature destruction of a type because the inherited instance
destructor should have already decremented the reference count
of the type object.
This change avoids the premature destruction of the type object
by suppressing the decrement of its reference count when an
inherited, non-default instance destructor has been invoked.
Finally, an assertion on the Py_SIZE of a type was deleted. Heap
types have a non zero size, making this into an incorrect assertion.

When inheriting a heap subclass from a vectorcall class that sets
`.tp_call=PyVectorcall_Call` (as recommended in PEP 590), the subclass does
not inherit `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`, and thus `PyVectorcall_Call` does
not work for it.
This attempts to solve the issue by:
* always inheriting `tp_vectorcall_offset` unless `tp_call` is overridden
in the subclass
* inheriting _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL for static types, unless `tp_call`
is overridden
* making `PyVectorcall_Call` ignore `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`
This means it'll be ever more important to only call `PyVectorcall_Call`
on classes that support vectorcall. In `PyVectorcall_Call`'s intended role
as `tp_call` filler, that's not a problem.
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.
* No type cache for types with specialized mro, invalidation is hard.
* FIX: Don't disable method cache custom types that do not implement mro().
* fixing implem.
* Avoid storing error flags, also decref.
* news entry
* Clear as soon as we're getting an error.
* FIX: Reference leak.
Add new trashcan macros to deal with a double deallocation that could occur when the `tp_dealloc` of a subclass calls the `tp_dealloc` of a base class and that base class uses the trashcan mechanism.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.
Add a new _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function which can be used to
help debugging. The function is available in release mode.
Add a 'check_content' parameter to _PyDict_CheckConsistency().
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
If Py_BUILD_CORE is defined, the PyThreadState_GET() macro access
_PyRuntime which comes from the internal pycore_state.h header.
Public headers must not require internal headers.
Move PyThreadState_GET() and _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() from
Include/pystate.h to Include/internal/pycore_state.h, and rename
PyThreadState_GET() to _PyThreadState_GET() there.
The PyThreadState_GET() macro of pystate.h is now redefined when
pycore_state.h is included, to use the fast _PyThreadState_GET().
Changes:
* Add _PyThreadState_GET() macro
* Replace "PyThreadState_GET()->interp" with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
* Replace PyThreadState_GET() with _PyThreadState_GET() in internal C
files (compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE defined), but keep
PyThreadState_GET() in the public header files.
* _testcapimodule.c: replace PyThreadState_GET() with
PyThreadState_Get(); the module is not compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE
defined.
* pycore_state.h now requires Py_BUILD_CORE to be defined.
Use _PyObject_ASSERT() in:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
_PyObject_ASSERT() dumps the faulty object if the assertion fails
to help debugging.
