Fix free-threading scaling bottleneck in sys.intern and `PyObject_SetAttr` by
avoiding the interpreter-wide lock when the string is already interned and
immortalized.
* We don't specify what happens on non-IEEE platforms.
* Use rather PY_LITTLE_ENDIAN to get native endianness.
* Mention that unpack functions don't fail in CPython.
* Mention that PyFloat_Pack8 doesn't fail in CPython.

Add special cases for classmethod and staticmethod descriptors in
_PyObject_GetMethodStackRef() to avoid calling tp_descr_get, which
avoids reference count contention on the bound method and underlying
callable. This improves scaling when calling classmethods and
staticmethods from multiple threads.
Also refactor method_vectorcall in classobject.c into a new _PyObject_VectorcallPrepend() helper so that it can be used by
PyObject_VectorcallMethod as well.
* Add the c_init_default attribute which is used to initialize the C variable
if the default is not explicitly provided.
* Add the c_default_init() method which is used to derive c_default from
default if c_default is not explicitly provided.
* Explicit c_default and py_default are now almost always have precedence
over the generated value.
* Add support for bytes literals as default values.
* Improve support for str literals as default values (support non-ASCII
and non-printable characters and special characters like backslash or quotes).
* Fix support for str and bytes literals containing trigraphs, "/*" and "*/".
* Improve support for default values in converters "char" and "int(accept={str})".
* Converter "int(accept={str})" now requires 1-character string instead of
integer as default value.
* Add support for non-None default values in converter "Py_buffer": NULL,
str and bytes literals.
* Improve error handling for invalid default values.
* Rename Null to NullType for consistency.
Modifies the Emscripten build script to allow for caching of dependencies, and
for automated installation of new EMSDK versions.

Modifies the Emscripten build script to allow for custom cross-build directory
names, and to only clean Emscripten-specific paths (optionally including the
build python).

Adds an `--emsdk-cache` argument to the Emscripten build script and an
emscripten_version.txt file. If the `--emsdk-cache` argument is passed, the build script
will look in `emscripten_version.txt` to get the expected emsdk version is installed in
a folder called e.g., 4.0.12 in the directory indicated by the `--emsdk-cache` argument,
and run the build with that Emscripten tooling activated.
Remove PyThread_type_lock (now uses PyMutex internally).
Add new benchmark options:
- work_inside/work_outside: control work inside and outside the critical section to vary contention levels
- num_locks: use multiple independent locks with threads assigned round-robin
- total_iters: fixed iteration count per thread instead of time-based, useful for measuring fairness
- num_acquisitions: lock acquisitions per loop iteration
- random_locks: acquire random lock each iteration
Also return elapsed time from benchmark_locks() and switch lockbench.py to use argparse.
Since the code for rule NR2 is already here, to support CJK unified
ideographs and Tangut ideographs, it can also be used for other names
derived by rule NR2.
