In Subversion r86731, the path was changed from $(BINLIBDEST)/config to
$(LIBDEST)/config-$(LDVERSION).

Also adjust the test condition, because enable-meta-key was only added in
6.1, not 6.0.

The previous attempt to determine the file’s Content-Length gave a false
positive for pipes on Windows.

Also, drop the special case for sending zero-length iterable bodies.

Issue #27841: Add _PyObject_Call_Prepend() helper function to prepend an
argument to existing arguments to call a function. This helper uses fast calls.

Modify method_call() and slot_tp_new() to use _PyObject_Call_Prepend().

Pass stack, not unrelated and uninitialized args!

_Pickle_FastCall() is now fast again!

The optimization was introduced in Python 3.2, removed in Python 3.4 and
reintroduced in Python 3.6 (thanks to the new generic fastcall functions).

_PyObject_FastCallDict() only requires _Py_CheckFunctionResult() for the
slow-path. Other cases already check for the result.

Issue #27830: Similar to _PyObject_FastCallDict(), but keyword arguments are
also passed in the same C array than positional arguments, rather than being
passed as a Python dict.

Noticed by Xiang Zhang.

Issue #27848: use Py_ssize_t rather than C int for the number of function
positional and keyword arguments.
