Provide shm_open() and shm_unlink() functions.  Move other
functionality into the shared_memory.py module.

* Removed ShareableList.copy as redundant.

* Changes to _winapi use from eryksun feedback.

* Adopt simpler SharedMemory API, collapsing PosixSharedMemory and WindowsNamedSharedMemory into one.

* Fix missing docstring on class, add test for ignoring size when attaching.

* Moved SharedMemoryManager to managers module, tweak to fragile test.

* Tweak to exception in OpenFileMapping suggested by eryksun.

* Mark a few dangling bits as private as suggested by Giampaolo.

Ensure that the main interpreter is active (in the main thread) for signal-handling operations. This is increasingly relevant as people use subinterpreters more.

Add What's New docs about the Ctrl-C improvement. Correct the issue number in the NEWS entry.

Move PyInterpreterState into the "internal" header files.

bpo-36074: Result of  `asyncio.Server.sockets` after `Server.close()` after  is not clear (GH-11987)

Document usage of the existing `--prompt` option in the command line help.

* Add tests for Counter order.  No behavior change.

* Update docs and tests

* Fix doctest output and capitalization

Trying to assign a value to __debug__ using the assignment operator is supposed to fail, but
a missing check for forbidden names when setting the context in the ast was preventing this behaviour. 

read() returns bytes for a file opened in binary mode,
so b'' should be used as a sentinel instead of ''.
Otherwise the loop will be infinite.

Explicitly reinitialize this every eval *just in case* someone is
calling into an embedded Python where they don't care about an uncaught
KeyboardInterrupt exception (why didn't they leave
`config.install_signal_handlers` set to `0`?!?) but then later call
`Py_Main()` itself (which *checks* this flag and dies with a signal after
its interpreter exits).  We don't want a previous embedded interpreter's
uncaught exception to trigger an unexplained signal exit from a future
`Py_Main()` based one.

 Fix a crash on fork when using subinterpreters.

Fix test_ssl for strict OpenSSL configuration like RHEL8 strict crypto policy.
Use older TLS version for minimum TLS version of the server SSL context if
needed, to test TLS version older than default minimum TLS version.

Allow to add HTTP headers to XML-RPC requests sent to the server.

`object.__new__` and `object.__init__` do take one argument each,
they just don't take extra user supplied arguments.
