Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds.
This PR comes fresh from a pile of work done in our private PSRT security response team repo.

I wrote up [a one pager for the release managers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KjuF_aXlzPUxTK4BMgezGJ2Pn7uevfX7g0_mvgHlL7Y/edit#). Much of that text wound up in the Issue. Backports PRs already exist. See the issue for links.
Given that 2.7 has now been end-of-life for two and a half years,
I don't think we need such a detailed explanation here anymore of
the differences between Python 2 and Python 3.
Since `title()` mentions its own short-comings, it should also mention the library function which does not possess them.

The documentation on ``GenericAlias`` objects implies at multiple points that
only container classes can define ``__class_getitem__``. This is misleading.
This PR proposes a rewrite of the documentation to clarify that non-container
classes can define ``__class_getitem__``, and to clarify what it means when a
non-container class is parameterized.
See also: initial discussion of issues with this piece of documentation in
GH-29308, and previous BPO issue [42280](https://bugs.python.org/issue42280).
Also improved references in glossary and typing docs. Fixed some links.

* Fix#1 - isidentifier() function output
* Fix#2 Update the str.splitlines() function parameter
* Fix#3 Removed unwanted full stop for str and bytes types double quotes examples.
* Fix#4 Updated class dict from **kwarg to **kwargs
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.
Accessing the following attributes will now fire PEP 578 style audit hooks as ("object.__getattr__", obj, name):
* PyTracebackObject: tb_frame
* PyFrameObject: f_code
* PyGenObject: gi_code, gi_frame
* PyCoroObject: cr_code, cr_frame
* PyAsyncGenObject: ag_code, ag_frame
Add an AUDIT_READ attribute flag aliased to READ_RESTRICTED.
Update obsolete flag documentation.
Add Doc/using/configure.rst documentation to document configure,
preprocessor, compiler and linker options.
Add a new section about the "Python debug build".
The issue being resolved is shown in the 3.10 docs (if you select docs for older versions you won't see a visual glitch).
The newer sphinx version that produces the 3.10 docs doesn't treat the backslash to escape things in some situations it previously did.
No backport is required since union is only in 3.10.
This addresses "3. Consistency nitpicks for Union's docs" in the bpo.
Please skip news. Thank you.
* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer().
The int.is_integer() method always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True.
* bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int.
This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass
implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and
may have suboptimal performance for other types.
* bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one.
This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's
lowest form, as required by the class docstring.
* bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method.
The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound
method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational.
These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method.
* bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float.
The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations
which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference
to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of
is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods
on Float'.
The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and
mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or
to handle special values like NaN.
* bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations.
The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses
mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to
Python.
The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer
using to_integral_value().
In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also
implemented.
Tests and documentation are included.
* bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file.
* bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal.
