Mostly, these are changes so that we use shorter sentences and shorter paragraphs. In particular, I've tried to make the first sentence introducing each object in the typing API short and declarative.
This commit introduces a 'walk-and-match' strategy for handling glob patterns that include a non-terminal `**` wildcard, such as `**/*.py`. For this example, the previous implementation recursively walked directories using `os.scandir()` when it expanded the `**` component, and then **scanned those same directories again** when expanded the `*.py` component. This is wasteful.
In the new implementation, any components following a `**` wildcard are used to build a `re.Pattern` object, which is used to filter the results of the recursive walk. A pattern like `**/*.py` uses half the number of `os.scandir()` calls; a pattern like `**/*/*.py` a third, etc.
This new algorithm does not apply if either:
1. The *follow_symlinks* argument is set to `None` (its default), or
2. The pattern contains `..` components.
In these cases we fall back to the old implementation.
This commit also replaces selector classes with selector functions. These generators directly yield results rather calling through to their successors. A new internal `Path._glob()` method takes care to chain these generators together, which simplifies the lazy algorithm and slightly improves performance. It should also be easier to understand and maintain.
_PyUnicode_ToLowercase(), _PyUnicode_ToUppercase(),
_PyUnicode_ToTitlecase() are no longer deprecated in the
documentation. It's no longer needed since they now use Py_UCS4 type,
rather than the deprecated Py_UNICODE type.
When Python is built in debug mode (if the Py_REF_DEBUG macro is
defined), the Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() function are now always
implemented as opaque functions to avoid leaking implementation
details like the "_Py_RefTotal" variable or the
_Py_DecRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() function.
* Remove _Py_IncRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() and
_Py_DecRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() from the stable ABI.
* Remove _Py_NegativeRefcount() from limited C API.
Disallow thread creation and fork at interpreter finalization.
in the following functions, check if interpreter is finalizing and raise `RuntimeError` with appropriate message:
* `_thread.start_new_thread` and thus `threading`
* `posix.fork`
* `posix.fork1`
* `posix.forkpty`
* `_posixsubprocess.fork_exec` when a `preexec_fn=` is supplied.

Remove functions in the C API:
* PyEval_AcquireLock()
* PyEval_ReleaseLock()
* PyEval_InitThreads()
* PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
But keep these functions in the stable ABI.
Mention "make regen-limited-abi" in "make regen-all".
* refcounts.dat:
* Remove Py_UNICODE functions.
* Replace Py_UNICODE argument type with wchar_t.
* _PyUnicode_ToLowercase(), _PyUnicode_ToUppercase(),
_PyUnicode_ToTitlecase() are no longer deprecated in comments.
It's no longer needed since they now use Py_UCS4 type, rather than
the deprecated Py_UNICODE type.
* gdb: Remove unused char_width() method.
