* 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.

* 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.
(cherry picked from commit 7775349895)
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.

The `wb.len = -1` assignment is unneeded since its introduction in 161d695fb0 as `PyObject_GetBuffer` always fills it in.

* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.
Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.
The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation. This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

Format characters "%s" and "%V" in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and "%s" in PyBytes_FromFormat()
no longer read memory past the limit if precision is specified.
Configuring python with ./configure --with-pydebug CFLAGS="-D COUNT_ALLOCS -O0"
makes "make smelly" fail as some symbols were being exported without the "Py_" or
"_Py" prefixes.
* Convert PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros to static
inline functions.
* Fix usage of these functions: cast to PyObject* or PyVarObject*.
