"Arguments may be integers... " could be misunderstand as they also
could be strings.
New wording makes it clear that arguments have to be integers.

Fix typo in description of link to mozilla bug report writing guidelines.
Though the URL is misleading, we're indeed trying to write bug _reports_, not to add bugs.

The activation scripts generated by venv were inconsistent in how they changed the shell's prompt. Some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` exclusively, some used `__VENV_PROMPT__` if it was set even though by default `__VENV_PROMPT__` is always set and the fallback matched the default, and one ignored `__VENV_PROMPT__` and used `__VENV_NAME__` instead (and even used a differing format to the default prompt). This change now has all activation scripts use `__VENV_PROMPT__` only and relies on the fact that venv sets that value by default.
The color of the customization is also now set in fish to the blue from the Python logo for as hex color support is built into that shell (much like PowerShell where the built-in green color is used).
bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
Added back mention that ensure_future actually scheduled obj. This documentation just mentions what ensure_future returns, so I did not realize that ensure_future also schedules obj.
There are plenty of legitimate scripts in the tree that begin with a
`#!`, but also a few that seem to be marked executable by mistake.
Found them with this command -- it gets executable files known to Git,
filters to the ones that don't start with a `#!`, and then unmarks
them as executable:
$ git ls-files --stage \
| perl -lane 'print $F[3] if (!/^100644/)' \
| while read f; do
head -c2 "$f" | grep -qxF '#!' \
|| chmod a-x "$f"; \
done
Looking at the list by hand confirms that we didn't sweep up any
files that should have the executable bit after all. In particular
* The `.psd` files are images from Photoshop.
* The `.bat` files sure look like things that can be run.
But we have lots of other `.bat` files, and they don't have
this bit set, so it must not be needed for them.

The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.

The documented definition was much broader than the real one:
there are tons of characters with general category "Other",
and we don't (and shouldn't) treat most of them as whitespace.
Rewrite the definition to agree with the comment on
_PyUnicode_IsWhitespace, and with the logic in makeunicodedata.py,
which is what generates that function and so ultimately governs.
Add suitable breadcrumbs so that a reader who wants to pin down
exactly what this definition means (what's a "bidirectional class"
of "B"?) can do so. The `unicodedata` module documentation is an
appropriate central place for our references to Unicode's own copious
documentation, so point there.
Also add to the isspace() test a thorough check that the
implementation agrees with the intended definition.

> The empty tuple syntax in type annotations, `Tuple[()]`, is not obvious from the examples given in the documentation (I naively expected `Tuple[]` to work); it has been documented in PEP 484 and in mypy, but not in the documentation for the typing module.

DeprecationWarning will continue to be emitted for invalid escape
sequences in string and bytes literals just as it did in 3.7.
SyntaxWarning may be emitted in the future. But per mailing list
discussion, we don't yet know when because we haven't settled on how to
do so in a non-disruptive manner.
(Applies 4c5b6bac24 to the master branch).
