This change also incorporates some additional getpass implementation
suggestions for security based on an analysis of getpass.c linked to from the

from a gcc inline assembler peculiarity. (gcc's "A" constraint
apparently means 'rax or rdx' in 64-bit mode, not edx:eax
or rdx:rax as one might expect.)

Deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof, and document the replacement function PyOS_string_to_double.

docstring more descriptive instead.

leak-chasing test runs give sensible results. The previous method of
reaping threads could return successfully while some Thread objects were
still referenced. This also introduces a new private function:
:func:hread._count().

Use constants instead of magic integers for test result.  Do not re-run with --verbose3 for environment changing tests.

The sensible solution seems to be to implement %lld for PyString_FromFormat(V)
and PyErr_Format.  See issue #7228.

The added test does not fail without the patch, but we still fix the issue of
surrogates being used in wide builds where they should not be.

Issue 7117: Replace PyOS_ascii_strtod with PyOS_string_to_double in _json.c as part of short float repr. Change made after consulting with Bob Ippolito. This completes the removal of calls to PyOS_ascii_strtod.
