Fix a ctypes regression of Python 3.8. When a ctypes.Structure is
passed by copy to a function, ctypes internals created a temporary
object which had the side effect of calling the structure finalizer
(__del__) twice. The Python semantics requires a finalizer to be
called exactly once. Fix ctypes internals to no longer call the
finalizer twice.
Create a new internal StructParam_Type which is only used by
_ctypes_callproc() to call PyMem_Free(ptr) on Py_DECREF(argument).
StructUnionType_paramfunc() creates such object.

* sys.unraisablehook: add 'err_msg' field to UnraisableHookArgs.
* Use _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() in _ctypes _DictRemover_call()
and gc delete_garbage().
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.

Set type_attr to NULL after the assignment to stgdict->proto (like
what is done with stgdict after the Py_SETREF() call) so that it is
not decrefed twice on error.
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
This test case needs "signed short" bitfields, but the
IBM XLC compiler (on AIX) does not support this.
Skip the code and test when AIX and XLC are used.
Use __xlc__ as identifier to detect the XLC compiler.
* bpo-31572: Get rid of PyObject_HasAttrString() in ctypes.
* Fix error handling for _pack_.
* Don't silence errors when look up in a dict.
* Use _PyObject_LookupAttrId().
* More changes.
