* bpo-29136: Add TLS 1.3 support

TLS 1.3 introduces a new, distinct set of cipher suites. The TLS 1.3
cipher suites don't overlap with cipher suites from TLS 1.2 and earlier.
Since Python sets its own set of permitted ciphers, TLS 1.3 handshake
will fail as soon as OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released. Let's enable the common
AES-GCM and ChaCha20 suites.

Additionally the flag OP_NO_TLSv1_3 is added. It defaults to 0 (no op) with
OpenSSL prior to 1.1.1. This allows applications to opt-out from TLS 1.3
now.

* bpo-31339: Rewrite time.asctime() and time.ctime()

Backport and adapt the _asctime() function from the master branch to
not depend on the implementation of asctime() and ctime() from the
external C library. This change fixes a bug when Python is run using
the musl C library.

* bound checks for time.asctime()

* bound checks for time.strftime()

Really this time!

* bpo-27448: Work around a gc.disable race condition in subprocess.

This works around a gc.isenabled/gc.disable race condition in the 2.7
subprocess module by using a lock for the critical section.  It'll
prevent multiple simultaneous subprocess launches from winding up with
gc remaining disabled but it can't fix the ultimate problem: gc enable
and disable is a global setting and a hack.

Users are *strongly encouraged* to use subprocess32 from PyPI instead
of the 2.7 standard library subprocess module.  Mixing threads with
subprocess is a recipie for disaster otherwise even with "fixes" to
ameliorate common issues like this.

* Add a blurb!
