bpo-28552, bpo-7774: Fix distutils.sysconfig if sys.executable is
None or an empty string: use os.getcwd() to initialize project_base.

it's evaluated as false (None or empty string).

"make tags" and "make TAGS" now also parse Modules/_io/*.c
and Modules/_io/*.h.

(cherry picked from commit 21a74a9d)

A fix for 69e96910, which resulted in lchmod being disabled on all platforms, not just Linux.

(cherry picked from commit ed709d56)

Set CUSTOMIZED_OSX_COMPILER to True to disable
_osx_support.customize_compiler().

Fix reference leak hunting in regrtest: compute also deltas (of
reference count and file descriptor count) during warmup, to ensure
that everything is initialized before starting to hunt reference
leaks.

Other changes:

* Replace gc.collect() with support.gc_collect() in clear_caches()
* dash_R() is now more quiet with --quiet option (don't display
  progress).
* Precompute the full range for "for it in range(repcount):" to
  ensure that the iteration doesn't allocate anything new.
* dash_R() now is responsible to call warm_caches().

(cherry picked from commit 86082c22)

Fix an unlikely memory leak on conversion from string to float in the
function _Py_dg_strtod() used by float(str), complex(str),
pickle.load(), marshal.load(), etc.

Fix an unlikely memory leak in _Py_dg_strtod() on "undfl:" label:
rewrite memory management in this function to always release all
memory before exiting the function. Initialize variables to NULL, and
set them to NULL after calling Bfree() at the "cont:" label.

Note: Bfree(NULL) is well defined: it does nothing.

(cherry picked from commit 9776b063)

Fix a reference leak in _bufferedreader_read_all():
_io.BufferedIOMixin.read() leaks a reference on 'data'
when it reads the whole file content but flush() fails.

Fix a reference leak in json if parsing a floating point number fails.

If PyOS_string_to_double() fails in _match_number_str():
decrement numstr ref counter.

Fix reference leaks in _hotshot.LogReaderType on PyTuple_New() failure.
