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.

gh-144156: Fix email header folding concatenating encoded words (#144692)
The fix for gh-92081 (gh-92281) was unfortunately flawed, and broke whitespace handling for encoded word patterns that had previously been working correctly but had no corresponding tests, unfortunately in a way that made the resulting headers not RFC compliant, in such a way that Yahoo started rejecting the resulting emails. This fix was released in 3.14 alpha 1, 3.13 beta 2 and 3.12.5. This PR fixes the original problem in a way that does not break anything, and in fact fixes a small pre-existing bug (a spurious whitespace after the ':' of the header label if the header value is immediately wrapped on to the next line).

gh-144438: Fix false sharing between QSBR and tlbc_index (gh-144554)
Align the QSBR thread state array to a 64-byte cache line boundary
and add padding at the end of _PyThreadStateImpl. Depending on heap
layout, the QSBR array could end up sharing a cache line with a
thread's tlbc_index, causing QSBR quiescent state updates to contend
with reads of tlbc_index in RESUME_CHECK. This is sensitive to
earlier allocations during interpreter init and can appear or
disappear with seemingly unrelated changes.
Either change alone is sufficient to fix the specific issue, but both
are worthwhile to avoid similar problems in the future.

gh-86519: Add prefixmatch APIs to the re module (GH-31137)
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.

gh-144759: Fix undefined behavior from NULL pointer arithmetic in lexer (#144788)
Guard against NULL pointer arithmetic in `_PyLexer_remember_fstring_buffers`
and `_PyLexer_restore_fstring_buffers`. When `start` or `multi_line_start`
are NULL (uninitialized in tok_mode_stack[0]), performing `NULL - tok->buf`
is undefined behavior. Add explicit NULL checks to store -1 as sentinel
and restore NULL accordingly.
Add test_lexer_buffer_realloc_with_null_start to test_repl.py that
exercises the code path where the lexer buffer is reallocated while
tok_mode_stack[0] has NULL start/multi_line_start pointers. This
triggers _PyLexer_remember_fstring_buffers and verifies the NULL
checks prevent undefined behavior.
