The comment about the collection rules for the permanent generation was
incorrectly referenced by a comment in gcmodule.c (the comment has been
moved long ago into a header file). Moving the comment into the relevant
code helps with readability and avoids broken references.
`time.clock()` was removed in Python 3.8, but it was still mentioned
in the documentation for when `time.get_clock_info()` is given the
argument `'clock'`. This commit removes that mention.
Small typo/formatting corrections.
`whethen` -> `whether`
`exaustion' -> `exhaustion`
Assorted appending periods `.` and slight reformattings to place `Path contributed by` on the same line as description, matching the majority of document.
NB Some of these might need to be backported, as I saw the first error in the [changelog for 3.8.1](https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3-8-1)
The added parentheses around the PyIter_Next assignment suppress the following warning which gcc throws without:
```
warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
```
The other change is a typo fix
When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but
the `author_email` field was missing, erroneously a warning message was
displayed that the `author_email` field is required.
The specs do not require the `author_email`field:
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author
The same is valid for `maintainer` and `maintainer_email`.
The warning message has been adjusted.

Fixes a nearly word for word duplication of a sentence that appears
earlier in the caution section of datetime.datetime.fromisoformat in
Doc/Library/datetime.rst.
No issue created as it's a trivial change.

Fix test_ressources_gced_in_workers() of test_concurrent_futures:
explicitly stop the manager to prevent leaking a child process
running in the background after the test completes.
All keywords should first be checked for pointer identity. Only
after that failed for all keywords (unlikely) should unicode
equality be used.
The original code would call unicode equality on any non-matching
keyword argument. Meaning calling it often e.g. when a function
has many kwargs but only the last one is provided.
Multiprocessing and concurrent.futures tests now stop the resource
tracker process when tests complete.
Add ResourceTracker._stop() method to
multiprocessing.resource_tracker.
Add _cleanup_tests() helper function to multiprocessing.util: share
code between multiprocessing and concurrent.futures tests.
Each Python subinterpreter now has its own "small integer
singletons": numbers in [-5; 257] range.
It is no longer possible to change the number of small integers at
build time by overriding NSMALLNEGINTS and NSMALLPOSINTS macros:
macros should now be modified manually in pycore_pystate.h header
file.
For now, continue to share _PyLong_Zero and _PyLong_One singletons
between all subinterpreters.
Commit 6b5b013bcc ("bpo-26978: Implement pathlib.Path.link_to (Using
os.link) (GH-12990)") introduced a new link_to method in pathlib. However,
this makes pathlib crash when the 'os' module is missing a 'link' method.
Fix this by checking for the presence of the 'link' method on pathlib
module import, and if it's not present, turn it into a runtime error like
those emitted when there is no lchmod() or symlink().

Provides a richer platform tag for AIX that we expect to be sufficient for PEP 425
binary distribution identification. Any backports to earlier Python versions will be
handled via setuptools.
Patch by Michael Felt.
When parsing an "elif" node, lineno and col_offset of the node now point to the "elif" keyword and not to its condition, making it consistent with the "if" node.

Replace hardcoded timeout constants in tests with SHORT_TIMEOUT of
test.support, so it's easier to ajdust this timeout for all tests at
once.
SHORT_TIMEOUT is 30 seconds by default, but it can be longer
depending on --timeout command line option.
The change makes almost all timeouts longer, except
test_reap_children() of test_support which is made 2x shorter:
SHORT_TIMEOUT should be enough. If this test starts to fail,
LONG_TIMEOUT should be used instead.
Uniformize also "from test import support" import in some test files.
