On some platforms, and in particular macOS/arm64, the calling
convention for variadic arguments is different from the regular
calling convention. Add a section to the documentation to document
this.

and doClassCleanups() only cleans up the particular class.

GH-95815: Document less specific error for os.remove (GH-99571)
os.remove can raise PermissionError instead of IsADirectoryError,
when the object to be removed is a directory (in particular on
macOS).
This reverts a change done in GH-14262.

fix(doc-tools): use sphinx.locale._ as gettext() for backward-compatibility in pyspecific.py
[why] spinix 5.3 changed locale.translators from a defaultdict(gettext.NullTranslations) to a dict, which leads to failure of pyspecific.py. Use sphinx.locale._ as gettext to fix the issue.

The test.support.wait_process() function now uses a timeout of
LONG_TIMEOUT seconds by default, instead of SHORT_TIMEOUT. It
doesn't matter if a Python buildbot is slower, it only matters that
the process completes. The timeout should just be shorter than
"forever".

(cherry picked from commit f09da28768)
In very rare circumstances the JUMP opcode could be confused with the
argument of the opcode in the "then" part which doesn't end with the
JUMP opcode. This led to incorrect detection of the final JUMP opcode
and incorrect calculation of the size of the subexpression.
NOTE: Changed return value of functions _validate_inner() and
_validate_charset() in Modules/_sre/sre.c. Now they return 0 on success,
-1 on failure, and 1 if the last op is JUMP (which usually is a failure).
Previously they returned 1 on success and 0 on failure.
