Much of the information was duplicated in stdtypes.rst; this PR keeps
lexical/syntactical details in Lexical Analysis and the evaluation & runtime
behaviour in Standard types, with cross-references between the two.
Since the t-string section only listed differences from f-strings, and the
grammar for the two is equivalent, that section was moved to Standard types
almost entirely.

This simplifies the Lexical Analysis section on Names (but keeps it technically correct) by putting all the info about non-ASCII characters in a separate (and very technical) section.
It uses a mental model where the parser doesn't handle Unicode complexity “immediately”, but:
- parses any non-ASCII character (outside strings/comments) as part of a name, since these can't (yet) be e.g. operators
- normalizes the name
- validates the name, using the xid_start/xid_continue sets

Reading a specially prepared small Plist file could cause OOM because file's
read(n) preallocates a bytes object for reading the specified amount of
data. Now plistlib reads large data by chunks, therefore the upper limit of
consumed memory is proportional to the size of the input file.

The CGI server on Windows could consume the amount of memory specified
in the Content-Length header of the request even if the client does not
send such much data. Now it reads the POST request body by chunks,
so that the memory consumption is proportional to the amount of sent
data.

gh-87512: Fix `subprocess` using `timeout=` on Windows blocking with a large `input=` (GH-142058)
On Windows, Popen._communicate() previously wrote to stdin synchronously, which could block indefinitely if the subprocess didn't consume input= quickly and the pipe buffer filled up. The timeout= parameter was only checked when joining the reader threads, not during the stdin write.
This change moves the Windows stdin writing to a background thread (similar to how stdout/stderr are read in threads), allowing the timeout to be properly enforced. If timeout expires, TimeoutExpired is raised promptly and the writer thread continues in the background. Subsequent calls to communicate() will join the existing writer thread.
Adds test_communicate_timeout_large_input to verify that TimeoutExpired is raised promptly when communicate() is called with large input and a timeout, even when the subprocess doesn't consume stdin quickly.
This test already passed on POSIX (where select() is used) but failed on Windows where the stdin write blocks without checking the timeout.

GH-134453: Fix subprocess memoryview input handling on POSIX (GH-134949)
Fix inconsistent subprocess.Popen.communicate() behavior between Windows
and POSIX when using memoryview objects with non-byte elements as input.
On POSIX systems, the code was incorrectly comparing bytes written against
element count instead of byte count, causing data truncation for large
inputs with non-byte element types.
Changes:
- Cast memoryview inputs to byte view when input is already a memoryview
- Fix progress tracking to use len(input_view) instead of len(self._input)
- Add comprehensive test coverage for memoryview inputs

Added atomic operations to `scanner_begin()` and `scanner_end()` to prevent
race conditions on the `executing` flag in free-threaded builds. Also added
tests for concurrent usage of the `re` module.
Without the atomic operations, `test_scanner_concurrent_access()` triggers
`assert(self->executing)` failures, or a thread sanitizer run emits errors.

Only raises if the stack pointer is both below the limit *and* above the stack base.
This prevents false positives for user-space threads, as the stack pointer will be outside those bounds
if the stack has been swapped.
