This adds a "readlink" method to pathlib.Path objects that calls through
to os.readlink.

bpo-34679, bpo-38563: asyncio.ProactorEventLoop.close() now only calls
signal.set_wakeup_fd() in the main thread.

Fix stdatomic.h header check for ICC compiler: the ICC implementation
lacks atomic_uintptr_t type which is needed by Python.

Test:

* atomic_int and atomic_uintptr_t types
* atomic_load_explicit() and atomic_store_explicit()
* memory_order_relaxed and memory_order_seq_cst constants

But don't test ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(): it's not used in Python.

It should be impossible for an untracked object to have the collecting
flag set.  Back when state was stored in gc_refs, it obviously was
impossible (gc_refs couldn't possibly have a positive & negative value
simultaneously).  While the _implementation_ of "state" has gotten much
more complicated, it's still _logically_ just as impossible.

* math.perm() and math.comb()

* math.isqrt()

* Add singledispatchmethod()

* itertools.accumulate()

* Optional headers for xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy

* IDLE non-BMP characters

* import collections.abc directly

* @coroutine is deprecated

* pprint.pp()

* New options for object.__reduce__()

* DictReader no longer returns OrderedDicts

* "force" option for logging.basicConfig()

* Fix spelling

* cProfile context manager

* Various markup/grammar fixes from Kyle Stanley.
Other minor fixes as well.
Also, dedup the __reduce__ entry.

* Fix markup

* Fix grammar nits found by MS Word

The reverse iterator for empty dictionaries was not handling correctly shared-key dictionaries.

The Nose package is no longer maintained.

This is partly a cleanup of the code. It also is preparation for getting the variables from the source (cross-platform) rather than from the symbols.

The change only touches the tool (and its tests).

test.regrtest now uses process groups in the multiprocessing mode
(-jN command line option) if process groups are available: if
os.setsid() and os.killpg() functions are available.

* bpo-27657: Fix urlparse() with numeric paths

Revert parsing decision from bpo-754016 in favor of the documented
consensus in bpo-16932 of how to treat strings without a // to
designate the netloc.

* bpo-22891: Remove urlsplit() optimization for 'http' prefixed inputs.

Added periods at the end of the sentences.

Also updates the documentation to clarify the situation surrounding
the digestmod parameter that is required despite its position in the
argument list as of 3.8.0 as well as removing old python2 era
references to "binary strings".

We indavertently had this raise ValueError in 3.8.0 for the missing
arg.  This is not considered an API change as no reasonable code would
be catching this missing argument error in order to handle it.
