From 3.8 async functions used with mock.patch return an `AsyncMock`. `_accept_connection2` is an async function where create_task is also mocked. Don't mock `create_task` so that tasks are created out of coroutine returned by `AsyncMock` and the tasks are completed.

In e895de3e, the
deprecated function PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithUnicodeFilename() was
added in two functions in Modules/_winapi.c. This function was
deprecated in 3.3.

...and avoid using it on Solaris as it can raise EINVAL if offset is equal or bigger than the size of the file

bpo-37007: Implement socket.if_nametoindex(), if_indextoname() and if_nameindex() on Windows (GH-13522)

As it changes the way functions are called, the PEP 590 implementation
skipped the functions that the GDB integration is looking for
(by name) to find function calls.

Looking for the new helper `cfunction_call_varargs` hopefully fixes the
tests, and thus buildbots.

The changed frame nuber in test_gdb is due to there being fewer
C calls when calling a built-in method.

It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.

This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.

* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.

Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.

The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation.  This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.

The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.

This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

Add explicit `asyncSetUp` and `asyncTearDown` methods.
The rest is the same as for #13228

`AsyncTestCase` create a loop instance for every test for the sake of test isolation.
Sometimes a loop shared between all tests can speed up tests execution time a lot but it requires control of closed resources after every test finish. Basically, it requires nested supervisors support that was discussed with @1st1 many times. Sorry, asyncio supervisors have no chance to land on Python 3.8.

The PR intentionally does not provide API for changing the used event loop or getting the test loop: use `asyncio.set_event_loop_policy()` and `asyncio.get_event_loop()` instead.

The PR adds four overridable methods to base `unittest.TestCase` class:
```
    def _callSetUp(self):
        self.setUp()

    def _callTestMethod(self, method):
        method()

    def _callTearDown(self):
        self.tearDown()

    def _callCleanup(self, function, /, *args, **kwargs):
        function(*args, **kwargs)
```
It allows using asyncio facilities with minimal influence on the unittest code.

The last but not least: the PR respects contextvars. The context variable installed by `asyncSetUp` is available on test, `tearDown` and a coroutine scheduled by `addCleanup`.

The old link had a > in the url which prevented the browser from jumping down to the correct section on that page.

That PSF page itself has an error: There's a duplicate "the" in that paragraph that needs to be removed: "...and conform to **the the** Python Community Code of Conduct."

While I was editing this file, I also fixed some grammar and bolded the 3 important keywords so that they catch the viewer's eyes. I can revert these changes if they are unwanted.

Thanks.
