[3.15] gh-78335: Complete the widget option lists in tkinter docstrings (GH-152485) (GH-152500)
Several widget __init__ docstrings omitted valid options, and Menubutton and
Message had no option list at all. List every option supported by the widget,
tagging those added in Tk 9.0 and 9.1.
Add test_options_in_docstring, asserting that every option in OPTIONS is named
in the widget's __init__ docstring. Options reported by keys() but not in the
docstring are only printed in verbose mode, as some depend on the Tk version.

[3.15] gh-110904: Recommend windows-curses in the curses HOWTO (GH-152491) (GH-152506)
The HOWTO pointed at UniCurses, which is unmaintained and exposes its own
API. windows-curses provides the standard curses interface on Windows, so
existing code runs unchanged.

The non-ASCII tests only exercised what the runner's locale could encode (in
practice UTF-8). Add 8-bit-encoding cases to the character and string I/O
tests, each guarded by the existing encodability check: ASCII, a character
common to the Latin encodings ('é'), and ones distinctive to a single encoding
(byte 0xA4 is '¤' in ISO-8859-1, '€' in ISO-8859-15, 'є' in KOI8-U). Run the
whole suite under different locales to cover them; unrepresentable cases skip.
* gh-152415: Verify character output round-trips in test_output_character
Read each written character back with in_wch() or instr() rather than
inch(), which on a wide build returns the low byte of the code point
instead of the locale-encoded byte and so mangles a non-ASCII character
of an 8-bit locale. This lets the int-argument cases cover '€'/'є', and
adds matching coverage for the str argument.
insch() with an int byte > 127 is checked only for Latin-1: on a wide
build ncurses winsch stores a printable byte directly as a code point
instead of decoding it through the locale.

[3.15] gh-151613: Fix remote debugging frame cache ABA (#152448)
gh-151613: Fix remote debugging frame cache ABA (#151614)
The remote debugging frame cache previously used only the last_profiled_frame address as its cache anchor. If a frame returned and a later frame reused the same _PyInterpreterFrame address, the profiler could accept a stale cache entry and splice parent frames from a different call chain into the current stack.
This adds a last_profiled_frame_seq counter next to last_profiled_frame, increments it when the anchor advances, stores it in frame cache entries, and validates cache hits against both the frame address and the sequence. Cache miss walks now copy stack chunks before storing new cache entries so stored continuations come from a stable snapshot. The new regression test exercises alternating call chains and checks that cached stacks never contain frames from both branches.

[3.15] gh-80937: Fix memory leak in tkinter createcommand (GH-152294) (GH-152327)
A command created with createcommand() held a strong reference to the
interpreter, forming an uncollectable cycle (interpreter -> command ->
interpreter) that kept the interpreter and the callback alive until the
command was removed with deletecommand() or destroy(). The command now
borrows the reference; it cannot outlive the interpreter, which deletes its
commands when finalized.

When a Tcl command running its own event loop (such as vwait or
wait_variable) was active and the user typed input on stdin, the event
loop kept spinning at 100% CPU. The stdin file handler is now removed as
soon as input becomes available.
Also fix gh-139816: an exception raised in a callback no longer stops the
event loop to wait for Enter on a Python built without readline; pending
callbacks keep running until input is actually available on stdin.

gh-151722: Defer GC tracking in frozendict.copy() (GH-152230)
Fix _PyDict_Or() and frozendict.copy(): only track the frozendict by

Functions modifying frozendict now ensures that the object is not
tracked by the GC (in debug mode).
* can_modify_dict() checks that _PyObject_GC_IS_TRACKED() is false
for frozendicts.
* dict_merge_api() makes sure that the dictionary is tracked by the
GC.

Run the generic DTrace/SystemTap commands in a new process group and

The size is taken from the archive and is not validated, so a ~512-byte
crafted file can claim several gigabytes (or, via base-256 encoding, far
more) and make read() pre-allocate that much memory -- on open/iterate,
before any extraction filter runs.
Read the extended-header data in bounded chunks instead, so an oversized
or truncated header can no longer force a huge allocation. The bytes
returned for valid archives are unchanged.
