Patch by July Tikhonov.

Analogous to the decode_header fix, this fix makes Header.append and
make_header correctly handle the unknown-8bit charset introduced by email5.1,
when the input to them is binary strings.  Previous to this fix the
make_header(decode_header(x)) == x invariant was broken in the face of the
unknown-8bit charset.

This updates b21fdfa0019c, which fixed this bug incorrectly.

This makes them work like the close provided by regular file objects.

All of the other methods in mailbox that create message objects take care to
close the file descriptors they use, so it seems to make sense to have
__getitem__ do so as well.

Fix os.fchown() and os.open()

Remove also trailing spaces and replace tabs by spaces.

AbstractHTTPHandler.do_open() of urllib.request closes the HTTP connection if
its getresponse() method fails with a socket error. Patch written by Ezio
Melotti.

multiprocessing: Process._bootstrap() keeps a reference to the old process to
delay its finalization until after _run_after_forkers() as been executed. This
change should fix a crash on Mac OS X Tiger when a lock is released after a
fork.

Patch written by Charles-François Nataliv and Antoine Pitrou.

After 1a3e8db28d49, Windows XP could not os.stat at all due to raising
immediately when GetFinalPathNameByHandle wasn't available (pre-Vista).
The proper behavior in that situation is to just not attempt a traversal
rather than outright rejecting.

This change additionally handles a failed malloc by setting the error code
and returning false.

Patch by Hirokazu Yamamoto.

Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was
removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a
symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic
link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations.

Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat
code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to
properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).

This allows findsource() to work in doctests.

Just try to open files from the ZIP for reading, don't extract them to avoid
UnicodeEncodeError if the filename is not encodable to the filesystem encoding
(e.g. ASCII locale encoding).

Original fix by 'rep', final patch (with tests) by Xuanji Li.

I unfortunately introduced the regression when I refactored the code,
and there were no tests of quoting so it wasn't caught.  Now there
is one.

Issue #12168: SysLogHandler now allows NUL termination to be controlled using a new 'append_nul' attribute on the handler.

Rather than wrapping the C _isdir function in a Python function,
just import the C _isdir function directly. Additionally, add in the
docstring which was left out.

By changing to the Windows GetFileAttributes API in nt._isdir we can figure
out if the path is a directory without opening the file via os.stat. This has
the minor benefit of speeding up os.path.isdir by at least 2x for regular
files and 10-15x improvements were seen on symbolic links (which opened the
file multiple times during os.stat). Since os.path.isdir is used in
several places on interpreter startup, we get a minor speedup in startup time.
