bpo-40412: Nullify inittab_copy during finalization (GH-19746)
Otherwise we leave a dangling pointer to free'd memory. If we
then initialize a new interpreter in the same process and call
PyImport_ExtendInittab, we will (likely) crash when calling
PyMem_RawRealloc(inittab_copy, ...) since the pointer address
is bogus.
bpo-40334: Make the PyPegen* and PyParser* APIs more consistent (GH-19839)
This commit makes both APIs more consistent by doing the following:
- Remove the `PyPegen_CodeObjectFrom*` functions, which weren't used
and will probably not be needed. Functions like `Py_CompileStringObject`
can be used instead.
- Include a `const char *filename` parameter in `PyPegen_ASTFromString`.
- Rename `PyPegen_ASTFromFile` to `PyPegen_ASTFromFilename`, because
its signature is not the same with `PyParser_ASTFromFile`.
bpo-40334: Add support for feature_version in new PEG parser (GH-19827)
`ast.parse` and `compile` support a `feature_version` parameter that
tells the parser to parse the input string, as if it were written in
an older Python version.
The `feature_version` is propagated to the tokenizer, which uses it
to handle the three different stages of support for `async` and
`await`. Additionally, it disallows the following at parser level:
- The '@' operator in < 3.5
- Async functions in < 3.5
- Async comprehensions in < 3.6
- Underscores in numeric literals in < 3.6
- Await expression in < 3.5
- Variable annotations in < 3.6
- Async for-loops in < 3.5
- Async with-statements in < 3.5
- F-strings in < 3.6

bpo-29587: Enable implicit exception chaining with gen.throw() (GH-19811)
Before this commit, if an exception was active inside a generator
when calling gen.throw(), then that exception was lost (i.e. there
was no implicit exception chaining). This commit fixes that.
This implements full support for # type: <type> comments, # type: ignore <stuff> comments, and the func_type parsing mode for ast.parse() and compile().
bpo-40334: Fix test_peg_parser to actually use the old parser (GH-19778)
Now that the default parser is the new PEG parser, ast.parse uses it, which means that we don't actually test something in test_peg_parser. This commit introduces a new keyword argument (`oldparser`) for `_peg_parser.parse_string` for specifying that a string needs to be parsed with the old parser. This keyword argument is used in the tests to actually compare the ASTs the new parser generates with those generated by the old parser.

What's New in Python 3.9: Reorganize C API Changes (GH-19794)
Move Build Changes and C API Changes to the end of the document.
Most Python users don't build Python themselves and don't use the C
API. Other changes:
* Add Build Changes section
* Add sub-sections to the C API Changes
* Sort modules in Improved Modules section: move nntplib after
multiprocessing
bpo-40334: Disallow invalid single statements in the new parser (GH-19774)
After parsing is done in single statement mode, the tokenizer buffer has to be checked for additional lines and a `SyntaxError` must be raised, in case there are any.

bpo-32604: Add support for a "default" arg in channel_recv(). (GH-19770)
This allows the caller to avoid creation of an exception when the channel is empty (just like `dict.get()` works). `ChannelEmptyError` is still raised if no default is provided.
code.h now defines PyCodeObject type in the limited C API. It is now
included by Python.h.
Give a name to the PyCodeObject structure: it is now called
"struct PyCodeObject". So it becomes possible to define PyCodeObject
as "struct PyCodeObject" in the limited C API without defining the
structure.

PyFrameObject is now defined as struct _frame by pyframe.h which is

bpo-40334: Catch E_EOF error, when the tokenizer returns ERRORTOKEN (GH-19743)
An E_EOF error was only being caught after the parser exited before this commit. There are some cases though, where the tokenizer returns ERRORTOKEN *and* has set an E_EOF error (like when EOF directly follows a line continuation character) which weren't correctly handled before.

bpo-38387: Formally document PyDoc_STRVAR and PyDoc_STR macros (GH-16607)
Adds a short description of `PyDoc_STRVAR` and `PyDoc_STR` to "Useful macros" section of C-API docs.
Currently, there is [one lone mention](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/module.html?highlight=pydoc_strvar#c.PyModuleDef) in the C-API reference, despite the fact that `PyDoc_STRVAR` is ubiquitous to `Modules/`.
Additionally, this properly uses `c:macro` within `Doc/c-api/module.rst` to link.

* Move socket related functions from test.support to socket_helper.
* Import socket, nntplib and urllib.error lazily in transient_internet().
* Remove importing multiprocess.
This is one of the few files that has intimate knowledge of the pyc file
format. Since it lacks tests it tends to become outdated fairly quickly.
At present it has been broken since the introduction of PEP 552.
bpo-40334: Rewrite test_c_parser to avoid memory leaks (GH-19694)
Previously every test was building an extension module and
loading it into sys.modules. The tearDown function was thus
not able to clean up correctly, resulting in memory leaks.
With this commit, every test function now builds the extension
module and runs the actual test code in a new process
(using assert_python_ok), so that sys.modules stays intact
and no memory gets leaked.

bpo-38061: subprocess uses closefrom() on FreeBSD (GH-19697)
Optimize the subprocess module on FreeBSD using closefrom().
A single close(fd) syscall is cheap, but when sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)
is high, the loop calling close(fd) on each file descriptor can take
several milliseconds.
The workaround on FreeBSD to improve performance was to load and
mount the fdescfs kernel module, but this is not enabled by default.
