Use also support.SOCK_MAX_SIZE, not only support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE, to
get the size for a blocking send into a multiprocessing pipe.

Replace also test_support with support.

* bpo-31479: Always reset the signal alarm in tests

Use "try: ... finally: signal.signal(0)" pattern to make sure that
tests don't "leak" a pending fatal signal alarm.

* Move two more alarm() calls into the try block

Fix also typo: replace signal.signal(0) with signal.alarm(0)

* Move another signal.alarm() into the try block

* bpo-33717: pythoninfo: add CC --version (GH-7290)

Python 3.6, although I've seen the same crash in 3.6 (when involving
extension types and more complicated threading setups).

(cherry picked from commit a5c42284)

Fix test_multiprocessing.test_ignore(): use support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE
to make sure that send_bytes() blocks.

It is reproduced when parse the "<>" operator and run
Python with both options -3 and -We.

Check which readline implementation is used based on the readline
docstring.

Rename Lib/test/bisect.py to Lib/test/bisect_cmd.py. The old name was
in conflict with Lib/bisect.py, causing test failures, depending how
tests were run.

For example, "python2.7 Lib/test/test_httpservers.py" imported
indirectly Lib/test/bisect.py instead of Lib/bisect.py
on "import bisect".

* Add a space to ensurepip's --altinstall option
* Add periods to the arguments of ensurepip that didn't have it

This makes --help for all optional arguments consistent and also makes it
consistent with pip --help..

Skip test_load_dh_params() of test_ssl when Python filesystem encoding
cannot encode the provided path.

  the gc.garbage list.
* PyGC_Collect() can now be called when an exception is set and
  preserves it.

uuid._ipconfig_getnode did not validate the maximum length of the value,
so long as the value had the same type of formatting as a MAC address.
This let it select DUIDs as MAC addresses. It now requires an exact
length match..
