Mathematically, bitwise operations on integers behave as if there were an
infinite number of sign bits. Pragmatically, that gives the same answer as
using one extra sign bit for the bitwise logical operations.

A few wording improvements to dict ordering documentation.

* Add _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() function: decode decimal_point and
thousands_sep fields of localeconv() from the LC_NUMERIC encoding,
rather than decoding from the LC_CTYPE encoding.
* Modify locale.localeconv() and "n" formatter of str.format() (for
int, float and complex to use _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric()
internally.
The "iterable iterable" phrasing created confusion between the term
reference and the parameter name.
This simplifies the phrasing to just use the parameter name
without linking directly to the term definition.
* Use explicit numbering for footnotes referred by explicit number.
* Restore missed footnote reference in stdtypes.rst.
* Fix literal strings formatting in howto/urllib2.rst.
* Update susp-ignored.csv for zipapp.rst.
* Fix suspicious mark up in Misc/NEWS.
Builtin container types have two potential link targets in the docs:
- their entry in the list of builtin callables
- their type documentation
This change brings `bytes` and `bytearray` into line with other
container types by having cross-references default to linking to
their type documentation, rather than their builtin callable entry.
