Errors during writing no longer prevent to properly close
the ZIP file.

The bug occurred when the encoded surrogate character is passed
to the incremental decoder in two chunks.

We now use a pre-built libffi binary from our binaries repository, and no longer vendor the full implementation.

Return None after calling unittest.mock.patch.object.stop() regardless of whether the object was started. This makes the method idempotent.

No `bpo` for minor doc fix

Make the encoding/encoders mention congruent.

Add a function to collect certificates from several certificate stores into one certificate collection store that is then enumerated. This ensures we load as many certificates as we can access.

Make it doing less memory allocations and using the modern C API.

Remove the PyMem_FREE() call added in cb90c89d.  The buffer will be
freed when PyTokenizer_Free() is called on the tokenizer state.

This reverts commit dfd775a0.

bpo-36443, bpo-36202: Since Python 3.7.0, calling Py_DecodeLocale()
before Py_Initialize() produces mojibake if the LC_CTYPE locale is
coerced and/or if the UTF-8 Mode is enabled by the user
configuration. This change fix the issue by disabling LC_CTYPE
coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default. They must now be enabled
explicitly (opt-in) using the new _Py_PreInitialize() API with
_PyPreConfig.

When embedding Python, set coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode attributes
of _PyPreConfig to -1 to enable automatically these parameters
depending on the LC_CTYPE locale, environment variables and command
line arguments

Alternative: Setting Py_UTF8Mode to 1 always explicitly enables the
UTF-8 Mode.

Changes:

* _PyPreConfig_INIT now sets coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode to 0 by
  default.
* _Py_InitializeFromArgs() and _Py_InitializeFromWideArgs() can now
  be called with config=NULL.

 Python always use UTF-8 on VxWorks.

Fix refleak in sysmodule.c when calling SET_SYS_FROM_STRING_BORROW.

* Incref heap-allocated types in PyObject_Init
* Add documentation and porting notes to What's New

Change "star-operator" to "* operator".
