Under some conditions the earlier fix for bpo-18075, "Infinite recursion
tests triggering a segfault on Mac OS X", now causes failures on macOS
when attempting to change stack limit with resource.setrlimit
resource.RLIMIT_STACK, like regrtest does when running the test suite.
The reverted change had specified a non-default stack size when linking
the python executable on macOS.  As of macOS 10.14.4, the previous
code causes a hard failure when running tests, although similar
failures had been seen under some conditions under some earlier
systems.  Reverting the change to the interpreter stack size at link
time helped for release builds but caused some tests to fail when
built --with-pydebug.  Try the opposite approach: continue to build
the interpreter with an increased stack size on macOS and remove
the failing setrlimit call in regrtest initialization.  This will
definitely avoid the resource.RLIMIT_STACK error and should have
no, or fewer, side effects.

Stop using "static PyConfig", PyConfig must now always use
dynamically allocated strings: use PyConfig_SetString(),
PyConfig_SetArgv() and PyConfig_Clear().

Fix sys.excepthook() and PyErr_Display() if a filename is a bytes
string. For example, for a SyntaxError exception where the filename
attribute is a bytes string.

Cleanup also test_sys:

* Sort imports.
* Rename numruns global var to INTERN_NUMRUNS.
* Add DisplayHookTest and ExceptHookTest test case classes.
* Don't save/restore sys.stdout and sys.displayhook using
  setUp()/tearDown(): do it in each test method.
* Test error case (call hook with no argument) after the success case.

bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.

Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.

Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.

Post-handshake authentication is required for conditional client cert authentication with TLS 1.3.


https://bugs.python.org/issue37440

SSLContext.post_handshake_auth = True no longer sets
SSL_VERIFY_POST_HANDSHAKE verify flag for client connections. Although the
option is documented as ignored for clients, OpenSSL implicitly enables cert
chain validation when the flag is set.

Add more fuzz testing for re.compile, re.load and csv.reader

* Added documentation for textwrap.dedent behavior.
* Remove an obsolete note about pre-2.5 behavior from the docstring.

sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable

Also renamed the file to "test_pkg_import.py" to better follow the naming convention. Component of issue 19696.

As noted by @eryksun in [1] and [2], using _cleanup and _active(in
__del__) is not necessary on Windows, since:

> Unlike Unix, a process in Windows doesn't have to be waited on by
> its parent to avoid a zombie. Keeping the handle open will actually
> create a zombie until the next _cleanup() call, which may be never
> if Popen() isn't called again.

This patch simply defines `subprocess._active` as `None`, for which we already
have the proper logic in place in `subprocess.Popen.__del__`, that prevents it
from trying to append the process to the `_active`. This patch also defines
`subprocess._cleanup` as a noop for Windows.

* Fix test for integer overflow.
* Add an unit test.

Don't call _Py_isabs() with a bytes string (char*), the function
expects as wide string.

Also updates some (unreleased) event names to be consistent with the others.
