  Issue #8259: Get rid of 'outrageous left shift count' error when
  left-shifting an integer by more than 2**31 on a 64-bit machine.  Also
  convert shift counts to a Py_ssize_t instead of a C long.

+- Issue #8259: 1L << (2**31) no longer produces an 'outrageous shift error'
+  on 64-bit machines.  The shift count for either left or right shift is
+  permitted to be up to sys.maxsize.

 - Ensure that tokenization of identifiers is not affected by locale.
 
 - Issue #1222585: Added LDCXXSHARED for C++ support. Patch by Arfrever.
