* bpo-31044: Skip test_posix.test_makedev() on FreeBSD (#2915)

There is a bug in FreeBSD CURRENT with 64-bit dev_t. Skip the test if
dev_t is larger than 32-bit, until the bug is fixed in FreeBSD
CURRENT.
(cherry picked from commit 12953ffe)

* Fix syntax for Python 2.7

* bpo-31028: Fix test_pydoc when run directly

Fix get_pydoc_link() of test_pydoc to fix "./python
Lib/test/test_pydoc.py": get the absolute path to __file__ to prevent
relative directories.

* Use realpath() instead of abspath()

(cherry picked from commit fd465611)

* bpo-30980: Fix close test to fail

test_close_twice was not considering the fact that file_wrapper is
duping the file descriptor. Closing the original descriptor left the
duped one open, hiding the fact that close protection is not effective.

* bpo-30980: Fix double close protection

Invalidated self.fd before closing, handling correctly the case when
os.close raises.

* bpo-30980: Fix fd leak introduced in the fixed test

* bpo-30778: Skip test_bsddb3 on Windows XP

* Fix if, don't skip Windows Vista

multiprocessing.Process.is_alive() now removes the process from the
_children set if the process completed.

The change prevents leaking "dangling" processes.

* bpo-30595: Fix multiprocessing.Queue.get(timeout) (#2027)

multiprocessing.Queue.get() with a timeout now polls its reader in
non-blocking mode if it succeeded to aquire the lock but the acquire
took longer than the timeout.

* bpo-30595: Increase test_queue_feeder_donot_stop_onexc() timeout (#2148)

_test_multiprocessing.test_queue_feeder_donot_stop_onexc() now uses a
timeout of 1 second on Queue.get(), instead of 0.1 second, for slow
buildbots.

Mention that TestCase.assertMultiLineEqual method is used by default when comparing Unicode string when comparing Unicode strings with assertEqual.

bpo-30850: On Windows, test04_lock_timeout2() now tolerates 50 ms
whereas 100 ms is expected. The lock sometimes times out after only
58 ms. Windows clocks have a bad resolution and bad accuracy.

Adds a new 'Pip not installed' section that covers
running `ensurepip` manually, and also references
the relevant section of the Python Packaging User
Guide.

If history-length is set in .inputrc, and the history file is double the
history size (or more), history_get(N) returns NULL, and python
segfaults. Fix that by checking for NULL return value.

It seems that the root cause is incorrect handling of bigger history in
readline, but Python should not segfault even if readline returns
unexpected value.

This issue affects only GNU readline. When using libedit emulation
system history size option does not work.

This is a backport of the actual fix from master without the test, since
the test depends on new run_pty() helper which is not available in 2.7.

Replace `dumps` with `json.dumps`

* bpo-30855: Trying to fix test_use on Windows.

Avoid possible weird behavior of WideInt convertion.
"winfo id" always returns string hexadecimal representation.

(subTest() removed since it was introduced in Python 3)

(cherry picked from commit 76c567ee)

This provides more information on test failures.

list_cases() now unload modules, as the test runner does, to prevent
a failure in test_xpickle about test.pickletester loaded after
loading test_cpickle:

./python -m test --list-cases test_cpickle test_xpickle

Copy Lib/test/test_robotparser.py from master to 2.7 and adapt it for
Python 2.7:

* Replace urllib.robotparser with robotparser
* Adjust HTTPServer import
* Replace io.StringIO with StringIO.StringIO
* Remove tests on crawl_delay() and request_rate() since these
  methods were added to Python 3
* Remove subTest()
* Add test_main() which explicitly lists all test cases

* Rename again Lib/test/bisectcmd.py to Lib/test/bisect.py
* regrtest now removes '' and Lib/test/ from sys.path
* Use absolute import in test_bisect

Revert test_bisect.py change:
remove "from __future__ import absolute_import".

Sleep 1 ms instead of 0.1 ms to workaround a rounding issue on
Windows. On Windows, time.sleep(0.0001) sleeps 0 ms, so
collect_in_thread() calls gc.collect() in a loop and tests using this
thread takes too long. Sleep 1 ms so time.sleep() sleeps 15.6 ms on
Windows.

FXpy doesn't have a Python 3 port and it only
supports Python 2.2 and older versions.

(cherry picked from commit d3ed2877)

Write header and "Using seed ..." after checking for --list-cases and
--list-tests.

I thought I had run the full test suite before the last checkin, but
obviously I didn't.  test_multibytecodec_support.py isn't really a test file,
it is a support file that contains a base test class.  Rename it to
multibytecodec_support so that regrtest test discovery doesn't think it is a
test file that should be run..

* bpo-29512, bpo-30764: Backport regrtest enhancements from 3.5 to 2.7

* bpo-29512: Add test.bisect, bisect failing tests (#2452)

Add a new "python3 -m test.bisect" tool to bisect failing tests.

It can be used to find which test method(s) leak references, leak
files, etc.

* bpo-30764: Fix regrtest --fail-env-changed --forever (#2536) (#2539)

--forever now stops if a fail changes the environment.

* Fix test_bisect: use absolute import

Add missing "import subprocess".

Oh, this is my fault too. I missed this mistake. Thank you for the correction.
