* Add signal_add_constants() function and add ADD_INT_MACRO macro.
* The Python SIGINT handler is now installed at the end of
signal_exec().
* Use Py_NewRef().
bpo-41686, bpo-41713: On Windows, the SIGINT event,
_PyOS_SigintEvent(), is now created even if Python is configured to
not install signal handlers (PyConfig.install_signal_handlers=0 or
Py_InitializeEx(0)).
Changes:
* Move global variables initialization from signal_exec() to
_PySignal_Init() to clarify that they are global variables cleared
by _PySignal_Fini().
* _PySignal_Fini() now closes sigint_event.
* IntHandler is no longer a global variable.
Remove the undocumented PyOS_InitInterrupts() C function.
* Rename PyOS_InitInterrupts() to _PySignal_Init(). It now installs
other signal handlers, not only SIGINT.
* Rename PyOS_FiniInterrupts() to _PySignal_Fini()
As AIX 5.3 and below do not support thread_cputime, it was decided in
https://bugs.python.org/issue40680 to require AIX 6.1 and above. This
commit removes workarounds for — and references to — older, unsupported
AIX versions.
time.time(), time.perf_counter() and time.monotonic() functions can
no longer fail with a Python fatal error, instead raise a regular
Python exception on failure.
Remove _PyTime_Init(): don't check system, monotonic and perf counter
clocks at startup anymore.
On error, _PyTime_GetSystemClock(), _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() and
_PyTime_GetPerfCounter() now silently ignore the error and return 0.
They cannot fail with a Python fatal error anymore.
Add py_mach_timebase_info() and win_perf_counter_frequency()
sub-functions.
Explicitly cast PyExc_Exception to PyTypeObject* to fix the warning:
modules\_ctypes\_ctypes.c(5748): warning C4133: '=':
incompatible types - from 'PyObject *' to '_typeobject *'
It is no longer possible to build the _ctypes extension module
without wchar_t type: remove CTYPES_UNICODE macro. Anyway, the
wchar_t type is required to build Python.
Fix reference leaks in the error path of the initialization function
the _ctypes extension module: call Py_DECREF(mod) on error.
Change PyCFuncPtr_Type name from _ctypes.PyCFuncPtr to
_ctypes.CFuncPtr to be consistent with the name exposed in the
_ctypes namespace (_ctypes.CFuncPtr).
Split PyInit__ctypes() function into sub-functions and add macros for
readability.

* Add support for macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (aka arm64)
As a side effect of this work use the system copy of libffi on macOS, and remove the vendored copy
* Support building on recent versions of macOS while deploying to older versions
This allows building installers on macOS 11 while still supporting macOS 10.9.
