* introduce executable specific linker flags
Add PY_CORE_EXE_LDFLAGS and EXE_LDFLAGS which stores executable specific
LDFLAGS, replacing PY_CORE_LDFLAGS for building
executable targets.
If PY_CORE_EXE_LDFLAGS / EXE_LDFLAGS is not provided, then it defaults
to the value of PY_CORE_LDFLAGS which is the existing behaviour.
If both flags are supplied, and there is a need
to distinguish between executable and shared specific LDFLAGS,
in particular, PY_CORE_LDFLAGS should contain the shared specific LDFLAGS.
* documentation for new linker flags
* update Misc folder documentation
* Update Makefile.pre.in

Deprecate PEP-456 [1] support for providing an external definition
of the string hashing scheme. Removal is scheduled for Python 3.19.
Previously, embedders could define the ``Py_HASH_ALGORITHM`` macro to be
``Py_HASH_EXTERNAL`` [2] to indicate that the hashing scheme was provided
externally but this feature was undocumented, untested and most likely
unused.

The documentation incorrectly stated that numeric group arguments
must be in the range [1..99]. This limit was removed in Python 3.5
(bpo-22437). Replace with "a positive integer" since the next
sentence already documents the IndexError for out-of-range values.

Adds `prefixmatch` APIs to the re module as an alternate name for our long existing `match` APIs to help alleviate a common Python confusion for those coming from other languages regular expression libraries.
These alleviate common confusion around what "match" means as Python is different than other popular languages regex libraries in our use of the term as an API name. The original `match` names are **NOT being deprecated**. Source tooling like linters, IDEs, and LLMs could suggest using `prefixmatch` instead of match to improve code health and reduce cognitive burden of understanding the intent of code when configured for a modern minimum Python version.
See the documentation changes for a better description.
Discussions took place in the PR, in the issue, and finally at https://discuss.python.org/t/add-re-prefixmatch-deprecate-re-match/105927

To avoid duplicate content in the Enum HOWTO and
API documentation which is not automatically synced,
the section about supported __dunder__ and _sunder
names is moved from HOWTO to API docs.
See also https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/136791
Python.h now also includes <string.h> in the limited C API version 3.11
and newer to fix the Py_CLEAR() macro which uses memcpy().
Add a Py_CLEAR() test in test_cext.
Modify also _Py_TYPEOF to use C23 typeof() if available.
