* Add the c_init_default attribute which is used to initialize the C variable
if the default is not explicitly provided.
* Add the c_default_init() method which is used to derive c_default from
default if c_default is not explicitly provided.
* Explicit c_default and py_default are now almost always have precedence
over the generated value.
* Add support for bytes literals as default values.
* Improve support for str literals as default values (support non-ASCII
and non-printable characters and special characters like backslash or quotes).
* Fix support for str and bytes literals containing trigraphs, "/*" and "*/".
* Improve support for default values in converters "char" and "int(accept={str})".
* Converter "int(accept={str})" now requires 1-character string instead of
integer as default value.
* Add support for non-None default values in converter "Py_buffer": NULL,
str and bytes literals.
* Improve error handling for invalid default values.
* Rename Null to NullType for consistency.
Move creation of a tuple for var-positional parameter out of
_PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg().
Merge _PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg() with _PyArg_UnpackKeywords().
Add a new parameter in _PyArg_UnpackKeywords().
The "parameters" and "converters" attributes of ParseArgsCodeGen no
longer contain the var-positional parameter. It is now available as the
"varpos" attribute. Optimize code generation for var-positional
parameter and reuse the same generating code for functions with and without
keyword parameters.
Add special converters for var-positional parameter. "tuple" represents it as
a Python tuple and "array" represents it as a continuous array of PyObject*.
"object" is a temporary alias of "tuple".
This fixes a race during import. The existing _PyRuntimeState.imports.pkgcontext is shared between interpreters, and occasionally this would cause a crash when multiple interpreters were importing extensions modules at the same time. To solve this we add a thread-local variable for the value. We also leave the existing state (and infrequent race) in place for platforms that do not support thread-local variables.
Some incompatible changes had gone in, and the "ignore" lists weren't properly undated. This change fixes that. It's necessary prior to enabling test_check_c_globals, which I hope to do soon.
Note that this does include moving last_resort_memory_error to PyInterpreterState.

Like #28744 but for the Tools directory.

The original tool wasn't working right and it was simpler to create a new one, partially re-using some of the old code. At this point the tool runs properly on the master. (Try: ./python Tools/c-analyzer/c-analyzer.py analyze.) It take ~40 seconds on my machine to analyze the full CPython code base.
Note that we'll need to iron out some OS-specific stuff (e.g. preprocessor). We're okay though since this tool isn't used yet in our workflow. We will also need to verify the analysis results in detail before activating the check in CI, though I'm pretty sure it's close.
