Most of the change involves fixing up the test suite, which previously made
the assumption that there wouldn't be a new line if the input didn't end in
one.

tarfile._Stream has two buffer for compressed and uncompressed data.
Those buffers are not aligned so unnecessary bytes slicing happens
for every reading chunks.

This commit bypass compressed buffering.

In this benchmark [1], user time become 250ms from 300ms.

subprocess.Popen now copies the startupinfo argument to leave it
unchanged: it will modify the copy, so that the same STARTUPINFO
object can be used multiple times.

Add subprocess.STARTUPINFO.copy() method.

It was moved from bitbucket to GitHub.

This commit fixes the -timedelta overfllow issue not documented properly.

Result of function interpreter_requires_environment() depends on os.environ.
This was not covered by the tests, leading to fail when PYTHONHOME was set.

Fix test_forkserver_sigkill() of test_multiprocessing_forkserver:
give more time to the first child process to complete, double the
sleep in the parent process.

Reduce also the child process sleep from 1000 ms to 500 ms, to not change
the total duration of the test.

During buffered read, use a list followed by join instead of extending a bytes object.
This is how it was done before but changed in commit b506dc32.

Without tp_clear, GC can't break cyclic reference.
It will cause memory leak when cyclic reference is
created intentionally.

PyErr_Print() will not return when the exception is a SystemExit, so
decref the __main__ module object in that case.

The Opera Browser was using a outdated command line invocation that resulted in an incorrect URL being opened in the browser when requested using the webbrowser module.

* Correct the arguments passed to the Opera Browser when opening a new URL.

When hunting memory leaks using -R 3:3, test_imap_unordered() of
test_multiprocessing leaks randomly a few memory blocks. It is a
false alarm: when testing using -R 3:20 for example, no leak is
detected.

Modify test_imap_unordered() to be closer to test_imap():

* Only test 10 numbers instead of 1000: it's a pool of 4 processes, so
  10 is enough to test at least one number per process
* Use chunksize=100 instead of chunksize=53 to mimick test_imap()

 The line-length limit is not needed because the pages appear in a separate app rather
 than on a browser tab.  It can also interact badly with the DPI setting.

Using OptiPNG 0.7.7.
Used command is: `find . -name '*.png' | xargs optipng -o7`

They can be exposed when some C API calls fail due to lack of
memory.

* Failed Py_BuildValue() could cause an assertion error in the
  following TextIOWrapper.tell().
* input_chunk could be decrefed twice in TextIOWrapper.seek()
  after failed Py_BuildValue().
* initvalue could leak in StringIO.__getstate__() after failed
  PyDict_Copy().

* `flags` is indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value for
  backwards compatibility reasons.  This adds mention of this in the docs.
* The docs say that `sizehint` is deprecated and ignored, but it is still
  used when `epoll_create1()` is unavailable. This adds mention of this in
  the docs.
* `sizehint=-1` is acceptable again, and is replaced with `FD_SETSIZE-1`.
  This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level,
  since `FD_SETSIZE` is not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938)
* Reject `sizehint=0` since it is invalid to pass on to `epoll_create()`.

The relevant tests have also been updated.

Fix passing lists and tuples of strings containing special characters
'"', '\\', '{', '}' and '\n' as options to tkinter.ttk widgets.

The 'wikipedia' example is now 'rosette', describing what it draws.
The 'penrose' print output is reduced.  The 'tree' '1024'
output is eliminated.
