* -X dev: it is now possible to override the memory allocator using
PYTHONMALLOC even if the developer mode is enabled.
* Add _Py_InitializeFromConfig()
* Add _Py_Initialize_ReadEnvVars() to set global configuration
variables from environment variables
* Fix the code to initialize Python: Py_Initialize() now also reads
environment variables
* _Py_InitializeCore() can now be called twice: the second call
only replaces the configuration.
* Write unit tests on Py_Initialize() and the different ways to
configure Python
* The isolated mode now always sets Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag and
Py_NoUserSiteDirectory to 1.
* pymain_read_conf() now saves/restores the configuration
if the encoding changed
Py_Main() can again be called after Py_Initialize(), as in Python
3.6. The new configuration is ignored, except of
_PyMainInterpreterConfig.argv which is used to update sys.argv.

Calling Py_Initialize() twice does nothing, instead of failing with a
fatal error: restore the Python 3.6 behaviour.

- new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions
- restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize
- updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be
called before Py_Initialize
- also enhanced the existing embedding test cases
to check for expected settings in the sys module

Multi-phase initialized modules allow m_traverse to be called while the
module is still being initialized, so module authors may need to account
for that.

* Add timezone to datetime C API
* Add documentation for timezone C API macros
* Add dedicated tests for datetime type check macros
* Remove superfluous C API test
* Drop support for TimeZoneType in datetime C API
* Expose UTC singleton to the datetime C API
* Update datetime C-API documentation to include links
* Add reference count information for timezone constructors
* _Py_InitializeCore() doesn't call _PyMem_SetupAllocators() anymore
if the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable is not set.
* pymain_cmdline() now sets the allocator to the default, instead of
setting the allocator in subfunctions.
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding() now calls
_PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() to get a known allocator, to be able
to release the memory with the same allocator.
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
Fix a memory corruption in getpath.c due to mixed memory allocators
between Py_GetPath() and Py_SetPath().
The fix use the Raw allocator to mimic the windows version.
This patch should be used from python3.6 to the current version
for more details, see the bug report and
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2812
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
* bpo-30832: Remove own implementation for thread-local storage
CPython has provided the own implementation for thread-local storage
(TLS) on Python/thread.c, it's used in the case which a platform has
not supplied native TLS. However, currently all supported platforms
(NT and pthreads) have provided native TLS and defined the
Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS macro with unconditional in any case.
* bpo-30832: replace NT with Windows
* bpo-30832: change to directive chain
* bpo-30832: remove comemnt which making no sense
Add "Misc/NEWS.d" directory tree for "blurb".
CPython workflow is changing! We're going to start using "blurb"
to manage Misc/NEWS entries:
https://github.com/python/core-workflow
(This will be a big win for release managers, honest.)
This checkin simply populates the "Misc/NEWS.d" subdirectory tree
so that people can start putting their news entries in there.
No other changes (yet).
