Remove sys.getcheckinterval() and sys.setcheckinterval() functions.
They were deprecated since Python 3.2. Use sys.getswitchinterval()
and sys.setswitchinterval() instead.

Remove also check_interval field of the PyInterpreterState structure.

* regrtest: Add --cleanup option to remove "test_python_*" directories
  of previous failed test jobs.
* Add "make cleantest" to run "python3 -m test --cleanup".

At the moment you can definitely use UDPLITE sockets on Linux systems, but it would be good if this support were formalized such that you can detect support at runtime easily.

At the moment, to make and use a UDPLITE socket requires something like the following code:

```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```

If you look at this through Wireshark, you can see that the packets are different in that the checksums and checksum coverages change.

With the pull request that I am submitting momentarily, you could do the following code instead:

```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```

One can also detect support for UDPLITE just by checking

```
>>> hasattr(socket, 'IPPROTO_UDPLITE')
```

`_PyUnicode_Writer` is a relatively complex structure.  Initializing it is significant overhead when decoding short ASCII string.

When the Windows default event loop changed, `asyncio-policy.rst` was updated but `asyncio-eventloop.rst` was missed.

… as proposed in PEP 572; key is now evaluated before value.

Rephrase and clarify that "the entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left". This matches the documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#thread-objects.

When the test is ran with `PYTHONWARNINGS=error` the environment variable is passed to the python interpreter used in `assert_python_ok` where `DeprecationWarning` from  `@asyncio.coroutine` is converted into an error. Ignore the `DeprecationWarning` in `assert_python_ok`.

test_gdb no longer fails if it gets an "unexpected" message on
stderr: it now ignores stderr. The purpose of test_gdb is to test
that python-gdb.py commands work as expected, not to test gdb.

This is to help prevent people from accidentally installing into the wrong Python interpreter if they are not aware of which Python interpreter `pip` points to.

Also, add a missing call to va_end() in PySys_Audit().

* Switch to officially supported curses from 3rd-party ASIS supported ncurses
* stop saying optional modules osaudiodev and spwd are missing on AIX

Patch by M.Felt

* Docs: Improved phrasing 

Removed usage of second person pronouns in the section and made the assumption of "uneasiness" in code style transition more neutral.

* Removed trailing whitespace on line 34

* Mention bpo of PyImport_Cleanup removal
* Fix bpo number of PyByteArray_Init removal

It was listed as `binaryfunc`. It should be `unaryfunc`.

* Mention issue in which ByByteArray_Init() has been removed.
* Fix typo

In pylifecycle.c: pass tstate argument, rather than interp argument,
to functions.

Add a missing single quote character in the documentation for `io.TextIOWrapper.reconfigure`.
