Issue #27810: Add a new calling convention for C functions:

    PyObject* func(PyObject *self, PyObject **args,
                   Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);

Where args is a C array of positional arguments followed by values of keyword
arguments. nargs is the number of positional arguments, kwnames are keys of
keyword arguments. kwnames can be NULL.

Issue #28040: Fix _PyDict_DelItem_KnownHash() and _PyDict_Pop(): convert
splitted table to combined table to be able to delete the item.

Write an unit test for the issue.

Issue 27948: Allow backslashes in the literal string portion of f-strings, but not in the expressions. Also, require expressions to begin and end with literal curly braces.

Why do we have two sysconfig modules again?

generalizations added in 3.5.

generalizations added in 3.5.

Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.

Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.

Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection

All of those might be added later.

This is required by RFC 1542, so despite the subtle behavior change we
are treating it as a bug.  Patch by Michael Lazar.

pretty early on in the 3.x series (3.1 or 3.2?).

Builds on non-OSX UNIX now default to using the system libffi, and warn if the
bundled copy is used.
