Add extra audit hooks to catch C function calling from ctypes,
reading/writing files through readline and executing external
programs through _posixsubprocess.
* Make audit-tests for open pass when readline.append_history_file is unavailable
* Less direct testing of _posixsubprocess for audit hooks
* Also remove the audit hook from call_cdeclfunction now that _ctypes_callproc does it instead.
* reword the NEWS entry.
* mention readline in NEWS
* add versionchanged markers
* fix audit_events.rst versionadded
* doc lint

- Restore max field size to sys.maxsize, as in Python 3.13 & below
- PyCField: Split out bit/byte sizes/offsets.
- Expose CField's size/offset data to Python code
- Add generic checks for all the test structs/unions, using the newly exposed attrs
Add function to list the currently loaded libraries to ctypes.util
The dllist() function calls platform-specific APIs in order to
list the runtime libraries loaded by Python and any imported modules.
On unsupported platforms the function may be missing.

Make `versionchanged:: next`` expand to current (unreleased) version.
When a new CPython release is cut, the release manager will replace
all such occurences of "next" with the just-released version.

- If setting `_fields_` fails, e.g. with AttributeError, don't set the attribute in `__dict__`
- Document the “finalization” behaviour
- Beef up tests: add `getattr`, test Union as well as Structure
- Put common functionality in a common function

This amends 6988ff02a5: memory allocation for
stginfo->ffi_type_pointer.elements in PyCSimpleType_init() should be
more generic (perhaps someday fmt->pffi_type->elements will be not a
two-elements array).
It should finally resolve#61103.

Structure layout, and especially bitfields, sometimes resulted in clearly
wrong behaviour like overlapping fields. This fixes

The implementation uses 'ptr' for the name of the first parameter of
ctypes.string_at() and ctypes.wstring_at(). Align docs and docstrings
with the naming used in the implementation.

Remove a left-over sentence that refers to Py_OptimizeFlag
Remove a left-over sentence that refers to an example that was present in Python 3.10 and was using ``Py_OptimizeFlag``.
The summary of this diff is that it:
* adds a `_ctypes_alloc_format_padding` function to append strings like `37x` to a format string to indicate 37 padding bytes
* removes the branches that amount to "give up on producing a valid format string if the struct is packed"
* combines the resulting adjacent `if (isStruct) {`s now that neither is `if (isStruct && !isPacked) {`
* invokes `_ctypes_alloc_format_padding` to add padding between structure fields, and after the last structure field. The computation used for the total size is unchanged from ctypes already used.
This patch does not affect any existing aligment computation; all it does is use subtraction to deduce the amount of paddnig introduced by the existing code.
---
Without this fix, it would never include padding bytes - an assumption that was only
valid in the case when `_pack_` was set - and this case was explicitly not implemented.
This should allow conversion from ctypes structs to numpy structs
