gh-76961: Fix buildbot failures in test_pep3118 (#101587)
This PR fixes the buildbot failures introduced by the merge of #5561, by restricting the relevant tests to something that should work on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. It also silences some compiler warnings introduced in that PR.
gh-101334: Don't force USTAR format in test_tarfile. (GH-101572)
That causes the test to fail when run using a high UID as that ancient format
cannot represent it. The current default (PAX) and the old default (GNU) both
support high UIDs.

gh-76961: Fix the PEP3118 format string for ctypes.Structure (#5561)
The summary of this diff is that it:
* adds a `_ctypes_alloc_format_padding` function to append strings like `37x` to a format string to indicate 37 padding bytes
* removes the branches that amount to "give up on producing a valid format string if the struct is packed"
* combines the resulting adjacent `if (isStruct) {`s now that neither is `if (isStruct && !isPacked) {`
* invokes `_ctypes_alloc_format_padding` to add padding between structure fields, and after the last structure field. The computation used for the total size is unchanged from ctypes already used.
This patch does not affect any existing aligment computation; all it does is use subtraction to deduce the amount of paddnig introduced by the existing code.
---
Without this fix, it would never include padding bytes - an assumption that was only
valid in the case when `_pack_` was set - and this case was explicitly not implemented.
This should allow conversion from ctypes structs to numpy structs

gh-101266: Fix __sizeof__ for subclasses of int (#101394)
Fix the behaviour of the `__sizeof__` method (and hence the results returned by `sys.getsizeof`) for subclasses of `int`. Previously, `int` subclasses gave identical results to the `int` base class, ignoring the presence of the instance dictionary.
GH-84559: Deprecate fork being the multiprocessing default. (#100618)
This starts the process. Users who don't specify their own start method
and use the default on platforms where it is 'fork' will see a
DeprecationWarning upon multiprocessing.Pool() construction or upon
multiprocessing.Process.start() or concurrent.futures.ProcessPool use.
See the related issue and documentation within this change for details.

datetime.rst: fix combine() signature (#101490)
The default `tzinfo` param of the `combine()` signature pseudocode was erroneously `self.tzinfo`.
`self` has no meaning in the context of a classmethod, and the datetime class itself has no `tzinfo` attribute. The correct default pseudocode is `time.tzinfo`, reflecting that the default is the `tzinfo` attribute of the `time` parameter.

gh-77607: Improve accuracy of os.path.join docs (#101406)
This is a follow-up to #100811.
One of the changes in that PR isn't accurate in that
`os.path.join('', '')` will not end in a separator.
This reverts that change to the previous wording that used "only", but
explicitly calls out the case where the last part ends in a separator,
which is what caused confusin in #77607 and motivated the change
in #100811.

gh-59956: Clarify Runtime State Status Expectations (gh-101308)
A PyThreadState can be in one of many states in its lifecycle, represented by some status value. Those statuses haven't been particularly clear, so we're addressing that here. Specifically:
* made the distinct lifecycle statuses clear on PyThreadState
* identified expectations of how various lifecycle-related functions relate to status
* noted the various places where those expectations don't match the actual behavior
At some point we'll need to address the mismatches.

gh-77532: Minor tweaks to allow compiling with PlatformToolset=ClangCL on Windows (GH-101352)

It remains unsupported, but at least is possible now for experimentation.
gh-99952: [ctypes] fix refcount issues in from_param() result. (#100169)
Fixes a reference counting issue with `ctypes.Structure` when a `from_param()` method call is used and the structure size is larger than a C pointer `sizeof(void*)`.
This problem existed for a very long time, but became more apparent in 3.8+ by change likely due to garbage collection cleanup timing changes.

gh-101135: Add backwards compatibility to Windows launcher for older 32-bit versions (GH-101138)
Python 2.x and up to 3.4 did not contain the "-32" in their registry name, so the 32 and 64-bit installs were treated equal. Since 3.5/PEP 514 this is no longer true, but we still want to detect the EOL versions correctly in case people are still using them.
Additionally, the code to replace a node with one with a lower sort key was buggy (wrong node chosen, replace never happened since parent was always NULL, replaced node never freed, etc)
