bpo-31910: test_create_connection() now catchs also EADDRNOTAVAIL to
fix the test on Travis CI.
(cherry picked from commit 280c22a8)

Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field.  If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.

Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().

test_curses now saves/restores signals. On FreeBSD, the curses module
sets handlers of some signals, but don't restore old handlers when
the module is deinitialized.

This isn't a real problem because if the file pointer is not NULL, the
string-related fields are never touched. But, it doesn't hurt to set the unused
fields to NULL.

bpo-31733, bpo-31692: Document the new PYTHONSHOWREFCOUNT and
PYTHONSHOWALLOCCOUNT environment variables.

bpo-31692, bpo-19527:

* Add a new PYTHONSHOWALLOCCOUNT environment variable, similar to
  the Python 3 "-X showalloccount" option
* When Python is compiled with COUNT_ALLOCS, the new
  PYTHONSHOWALLOCCOUNT environment variable now has to be set to dump
  allocation counts into stderr on shutdown. Moreover, allocations
  statistics are now dumped into stderr rather than stdout.
* Add @test.support.requires_type_collecting decorator: skip test if
  COUNT_ALLOCS is defined
* Fix tests for COUNT_ALLOCS: decorate some methods with
  @requires_type_collecting
* test_sys.test_objecttypes(): update object type when COUNT_ALLOCS
  is defined

Add a new PYTHONSHOWREFCOUNT environment variable. In debug mode,
Python now only print the total reference count if PYTHONSHOWREFCOUNT
is set.
