The path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.
* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:
* executable
* base_executable
* prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* base_exec_prefix
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
consistency with other tests.

* 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.
* The AST optimiser wasn't descending into named expressions, so
any constant subexpressions weren't being folded at compile time
* Remove "default:" clauses inside the AST optimiser code to reduce the
risk of similar bugs passing unnoticed in future compiler changes
The PyConfig_Read() function now only parses PyConfig.argv arguments
once: PyConfig.parse_argv is set to 2 after arguments are parsed.
Since Python arguments are strippped from PyConfig.argv, parsing
arguments twice would parse the application options as Python
options.
* Rework the PyConfig documentation.
* Fix _testinternalcapi.set_config() error handling.
* SetConfigTests no longer needs parse_argv=0 when restoring the old
configuration.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
When Py_Initialize() is called twice, the second call now updates
more sys attributes for the configuration, rather than only sys.argv.
* Rename _PySys_InitMain() to _PySys_UpdateConfig().
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now modifies sys.flags in-place, instead of
creating a new flags object.
* Remove old commented sys.flags flags (unbuffered and skip_first).
* Add private _PySys_GetObject() function.
* When Py_Initialize(), Py_InitializeFromConfig() and
Replace PyModule_AddObject() with PyModule_AddObjectRef() in the
_warnings module to fix a reference leak on error.
Use also PyModule_AddObjectRef() in importdl.c.
Call _PyAST_Fini() on all interpreters, not only on the main
interpreter. Also, call it ealier to fix a reference leak.
Python types contain a reference to themselves in in their
PyTypeObject.tp_mro member. _PyAST_Fini() must called before the last
GC collection to destroy AST types.
_PyInterpreterState_Clear() now calls _PyAST_Fini(). It now also
calls _PyWarnings_Fini() on subinterpeters, not only on the main
interpreter.
Add an assertion in AST init_types() to ensure that the _ast module
is no longer used after _PyAST_Fini() has been called.
The logging.FileHandler class now keeps a reference to the builtin
open() function to be able to open or reopen the file during Python
finalization.
Fix errors like:
Exception ignored in: (...)
Traceback (most recent call last):
(...)

NameError: name 'open' is not defined
The ast module internal state is now per interpreter.
* Rename "astmodulestate" to "struct ast_state"
* Add pycore_ast.h internal header: the ast_state structure is now
declared in pycore_ast.h.
* Add PyInterpreterState.ast (struct ast_state)
* Remove get_ast_state()
* Rename get_global_ast_state() to get_ast_state()
* PyAST_obj2mod() now handles get_ast_state() failures
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
The last GC collection is now done before clearing builtins and sys
dictionaries. Add also assertions to ensure that gc.collect() is no
longer called after _PyGC_Fini().
Pass also the tstate to PyInterpreterState_Clear() to pass the
correct tstate to _PyGC_CollectNoFail() and _PyGC_Fini().
Move private _PyGC_CollectNoFail() to the internal C API.
Remove the private _PyGC_CollectIfEnabled() which was just an alias
to the public PyGC_Collect() function since Python 3.8.
Rename functions:
* collect() => gc_collect_main()
* collect_with_callback() => gc_collect_with_callback()
* collect_generations() => gc_collect_generations()
