Extend the documentation for disabling pymalloc with the `--without-pymalloc` flag regarding why it is worth to use it when enabling AddressSanitizer for Python build (which is done, e.g., in CPython's CI builds).
I have tested the CPython latest main build with both ASan and pymalloc enabled and it seems to work just fine. I did run the `python -m test` suite which didn't uncover any ASan crashes (though, it detected some memory leaks, which I believe are irrelevant here).
I have discussed ASan and this flag with @encukou on the CPython Core sprint on EuroPython 2025. We initially thought that the `--without-pymalloc` flag is needed for ASan builds due to the fact pymalloc must hit the begining of page when determining if the memory to be freed comes from pymalloc or was allocated by the system malloc. In other words, we thought, that ASan would crash CPython during free of big objects (allocated by system malloc). It may be that this was the case in the past, but it is not the case anymore as the `address_in_range` function used by pymalloc is annotated to be skipped from the ASan instrumentation.

The iOS testbed now treats the app_packages folder as a site folder. This ensures it is
on the path, but also ensures any .pth files are processed on app startup.

OpenSSL 3.4.1 mnemonics are not compatible with OpenSSL 3.4.0 ones since
they were renumbered [1, 2]. Consequently, `_ssl_data_34.h` is renamed to
`_ssl_data_340.h` and `_ssl_data_34.h` now contains OpenSSL 3.4.1 mnemonics.
We also refine the mnemonics that are selected, discarding those that are
mnemonic-like but should not be used as such. More precisely, we remove
the ERR_LIB_MASK and ERR_LIB_OFFSET entries from OpenSSL 1.1.1 data.

Make `warnings.catch_warnings()` use a context variable for holding
the warning filtering state if the `sys.flags.context_aware_warnings`
flag is set to true. This makes using the context manager thread-safe in
multi-threaded programs.
Add the `sys.flags.thread_inherit_context` flag. If true, starting a new
thread with `threading.Thread` will use a copy of the context
from the caller of `Thread.start()`.
Both these flags are set to true by default for the free-threaded build
and false for the default build.
Move the Python implementation of warnings.py into _py_warnings.py.
Make _contextvars a builtin module.
