have to watch them when they become fit again.

Add read_file, read_string, and read_dict to the configparser API;
new source attribute to exceptions.

Now the _collections is statically built, the build dependencies are in proper
order and build works fine.

Commit Log from r83874:
Issue 9396.   Apply functools.lru_cache in the place of the
random flushing cache in the re module.

The problem is that the re module is imported by sysconfig
and re needs functools which uses collections.OrderedDict()
but the _collectionsmodule.c code is not yet constructed
at this point in the build.

The likely best solution will be to include _collections
as part of the static build before the rest of the
boot-strapping.

random flushing cache in the re module.

Updated to solution to use the functools.lru_cache().
Restores the API so that purge() is not needed
(because the cache never gets big).
