* -X dev: it is now possible to override the memory allocator using
PYTHONMALLOC even if the developer mode is enabled.

* Write unit tests on Py_Initialize() and the different ways to
configure Python
* The isolated mode now always sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag and
Py_NoUserSiteDirectory to 1.
* pymain_read_conf() now saves/restores the configuration
if the encoding changed

code for generating a temporary name to hold the accumulation
target became redundant, but was never actually removed.

Fix a rare but potential pre-exec child process deadlock in subprocess on POSIX systems when marking file descriptors inheritable on exec in the child process. This bug appears to have been introduced in 3.4 with the inheritable file descriptors support.
This also changes Python/fileutils.c `set_inheritable` to use the "slow" two `fcntl` syscall path instead of the "fast" single `ioctl` syscall path when asked to be async signal safe (by way of being asked not to raise exceptions). `ioctl` is not a POSIX async-signal-safe approved function.
