Metaprogramming a list of attributes was excessive, and made the code less readable and slower.

Initially the macOS builds are allowed to fail until such time that they can be determined to be stable and not add an unacceptable amount of time to the overall Travis-passing process.

(cherry picked from commit 0737ee20)

The "iterable iterable" phrasing created confusion between the term
reference and the parameter name.

This simplifies the phrasing to just use the parameter name
without linking directly to the term definition..

* bpo-30414: multiprocesing.Queue._feed do not break from main loop on exc

Queue background running thread was not handling exceptions correctly.
Any exception occurred inside thread (putting unpickable object) cause
feeder to finish running. After that every message put into queue is
silently ignored.

Based on patch by Eryk Sun.
(cherry picked from commit d896985b)

Patch by Davin with help from Marc.

Warnings emitted when compile a regular expression now always point
to the line in the user code.  Previously they could point into inners
of the re module if emitted from inside of groups or conditionals.

(cherry picked from commit c7ac7280)

Running Python with the -3 option now warns about regular expression
syntax that is invalid or has different semantic in Python 3
or will change the behavior in future Python versions.

Running Python with the -3 option now emits deprecation warnings for
getchildren() and getiterator() methods of the Element class in the
xml.etree.cElementTree module and when pass the html argument to
xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser().

Fixed a deprecation warning about the doctype() method of the
xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser class.  Now it is emitted only when
define the doctype() method in the subclass of XMLParser.

Fixed a bug in the test_bug_200708_close test method.  An EchoTarget
instance was incorrectly passed to XMLParser() as the html argument and
silently ignored.

Tests no longer failed when use the -m option for running only selected
test methods. Checking warnings now is more specific, warnings are
expected only when use deprecated features.

Catch the Windows socket WSAEINVAL error (code 10022) in imaplib
on shutdown(SHUT_RDWR): An invalid operation was attempted

This error occurs sometimes on SSL connections.
