main() is now responsible to send the ANSWER, rather than
ServerProto. main() now waits until it got the HELLO before sending
the ANSWER over the new transport.

Previously, there was a race condition between main() replacing the
protocol and the protocol sending the ANSWER once it gets the HELLO.

TLSv1.3 was disabled for the test: reenable it.

* Update 2019-10-13-16-18-24.bpo-38468.buCO84.rst

Add a total_nframe field to the traces collected by the tracemalloc module.
This field indicates the original number of frames before it was truncated.

Fix test_compile_dir_maxlevels() on Windows without long path
support: only create 3 subdirectories instead of between 20 and 100
subdirectories.

Fix also compile_dir() to use the current sys.getrecursionlimit()
value as the default maxlevels value, rather than using
sys.getrecursionlimit() value read at startup.

* bpo-38461: ncurses misspelled as curses

* bpo-38463: Fix broken link

The symbol table handing of PEP572's assignment expressions is not resolving correctly the scope of some variables in presence of global/nonlocal keywords in conjunction with comprehensions.

* Misc gc code & comment cleanups.

validate_list:  there are two temp flags polluting pointers, but this checked only one.  Now it checks both, and verifies that the list head's pointers are not polluted.

move_unreachable: repaired incoherent comments.  Added new comments.  Cleared the pollution of the unreachable list head's 'next' pointer (it was expedient while the function was running, but there's no excuse for letting this damage survive the function's end).

* Update Modules/gcmodule.c

Metaclass was removed in Python 3.7 (there is already a `versionchanged` item about this).

* Use Unicode character for accent
* Various grammar fixes
* Sort library modules alphabetically; remove duplicated idlelib/IDLE section

Currently if any finalizer invoked during garbage collection resurrects any object, the gc gives up and aborts the collection. Although finalizers are assured to only run once per object, this behaviour of the gc can lead to an ever-increasing memory situation if new resurrecting objects are allocated in every new gc collection.

To avoid this, recompute what objects among the unreachable set need to be resurrected and what objects can be safely collected. In this way, resurrecting objects will not block the collection of other objects in the unreachable set.

They conflicted with keyword "in".

Also rename positional-only parameters of private os._fcopyfile()
for consistency.

* bpo-38456: Use /bin/true in test_subprocess.

Instead of sys.executable, "-c", "pass" or "import sys; sys.exit(0)"
use /bin/true when it is available.  On a reasonable machine this
shaves up to two seconds wall time off the otherwise ~40sec execution
on a --with-pydebug build.  It should be more notable on many
buildbots or overloaded slower I/O systems (CI, etc).

On POSIX systems, allow the umask to be set in the child process before we exec.

This is a fairly noticeable change that requires adjustments in
existing asyncio code. It should therefore be announced.

Since `smtpd.MailmanProxy` is already broken, it is not formally deprecated in 3.9. It will be removed in 3.10.
