"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should
be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign
of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure
imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for
complex elementary functions.
This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and
complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular,
there is no special version for the true division with real lhs
operand). Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these
special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be
deprecated in C2y).

Each thread specializes a thread-local copy of the bytecode, created on the first RESUME, in free-threaded builds. All copies of the bytecode for a code object are stored in the co_tlbc array on the code object. Threads reserve a globally unique index identifying its copy of the bytecode in all co_tlbc arrays at thread creation and release the index at thread destruction. The first entry in every co_tlbc array always points to the "main" copy of the bytecode that is stored at the end of the code object. This ensures that no bytecode is copied for programs that do not use threads.
Thread-local bytecode can be disabled at runtime by providing either -X tlbc=0 or PYTHON_TLBC=0. Disabling thread-local bytecode also disables specialization.
Concurrent modifications to the bytecode made by the specializing interpreter and instrumentation use atomics, with specialization taking care not to overwrite an instruction that was instrumented concurrently.
This is essentially a cleanup, moving a handful of API declarations to the header files where they fit best, creating new ones when needed.
We do the following:
* add pycore_debug_offsets.h and move _Py_DebugOffsets, etc. there
* inline struct _getargs_runtime_state and struct _gilstate_runtime_state in _PyRuntimeState
* move struct _reftracer_runtime_state to the existing pycore_object_state.h
* add pycore_audit.h and move to it _Py_AuditHookEntry , _PySys_Audit(), and _PySys_ClearAuditHooks
* add audit.h and cpython/audit.h and move the existing audit-related API there
*move the perfmap/trampoline API from cpython/sysmodule.h to cpython/ceval.h, and remove the now-empty cpython/sysmodule.h
Users want to know when the current context switches to a different
context object. Right now this happens when and only when a context
is entered or exited, so the enter and exit events are synonymous with
"switched". However, if the changes proposed for gh-99633 are
implemented, the current context will also switch for reasons other
than context enter or exit. Since users actually care about context
switches and not enter or exit, replace the enter and exit events with
a single switched event.
The former exit event was emitted just before exiting the context.
The new switched event is emitted after the context is exited to match
the semantics users expect of an event with a past-tense name. If
users need the ability to clean up before the switch takes effect,
another event type can be added in the future. It is not added here
because YAGNI.
I skipped 0 in the enum as a matter of practice. Skipping 0 makes it
easier to troubleshoot when code forgets to set zeroed memory, and it
aligns with best practices for other tools (e.g.,
https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/dos-donts/#unspecified-enum).

Use per-thread refcounting for the reference from function objects to
their corresponding code object. This can be a source of contention when
frequently creating nested functions. Deferred refcounting alone isn't a
great fit here because these references are on the heap and may be
modified by other libraries.

* Add definitions for "context", "current context", and "context
management protocol".
* Update related definitions to be consistent with the new
definitions.
* Restructure the documentation for the `contextvars.Context` class
to prepare for adding context manager support, and for consistency
with the definitions.
* Use `testcode` and `testoutput` to test the `Context.run` example.
* Expand the documentation for the `Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_ENTER` and
`Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_EXIT` events to clarify and to prepare for
planned changes.
Instead of be limited just by the size of addressable memory (2**63
bytes), Python integers are now also limited by the number of bits, so
the number of bit now always fit in a 64-bit integer.
Both limits are much larger than what might be available in practice,
so it doesn't affect users.
_PyLong_NumBits() and _PyLong_Frexp() are now always successful.
Lower the C recursion limit for HPPA, PPC64 and SPARC, as they use
relatively large stack frames that cause e.g. `test_descr` to hit
a stack overflow. According to quick testing, it seems that values
around 8000 are max for HPPA and PPC64 (ELFv1 ABI) and 7000 for SPARC64.
To keep things safe, let's use 5000 for PPC64 and 4000 for SPARC.

Add PyConfig_Get(), PyConfig_GetInt(), PyConfig_Set() and
PyConfig_Names() functions to get and set the current runtime Python
configuration.
Add visibility and "sys spec" to config and preconfig specifications.
_PyConfig_AsDict() now converts PyConfig.xoptions as a dictionary.

The free-threaded build partially stores heap type reference counts in
distributed manner in per-thread arrays. This avoids reference count
contention when creating or destroying instances.

Change _PyLong_IsCompact() and _PyLong_CompactValue() parameter type
from 'PyObject*' to 'const PyObject*'. Avoid the Py_TYPE() macro
which does not support const parameter.
The `_PySeqLock_EndRead` function needs an acquire fence to ensure that
the load of the sequence happens after any loads within the read side
critical section. The missing fence can trigger bugs on macOS arm64.
Additionally, we need a release fence in `_PySeqLock_LockWrite` to
ensure that the sequence update is visible before any modifications to
the cache entry.
Remove the const qualifier of the argument of functions:
* _PyLong_IsCompact()
* _PyLong_CompactValue()
Py_TYPE() argument is not const.
Fix the compiler warning:
Include/cpython/longintrepr.h: In function ‘_PyLong_CompactValue’:
Include/pyport.h:19:31: error: cast discards ‘const’ qualifier from
pointer target type [-Werror=cast-qual]
(...)
Include/cpython/longintrepr.h:133:30: note: in expansion of macro
‘Py_TYPE’
assert(PyType_HasFeature(Py_TYPE(op), Py_TPFLAGS_LONG_SUBCLASS));
