_PyObject_DebugReallocApi() now calls Py_FatalError() if realloc()
fails to shrink a memory block.

Call Py_FatalError() because _PyObject_DebugReallocApi() erased freed
bytes *before* realloc(), expecting that realloc() *cannot* fail to
shrink a memory block.

* bpo-31324: Optimize support._match_test() (#4421)

* Rename support._match_test() to support.match_test(): make it
  public
* Remove support.match_tests global variable. It is replaced with a
  new support.set_match_tests() function, so match_test() doesn't
  have to check each time if patterns were modified.
* Rewrite match_test(): use different code paths depending on the
  kind of patterns for best performances.

Fix the following warning:

Warning -- files was modified by test_builtin
  Before: []
  After:  ['@test_19422_tmp']
1 test altered the execution environment:

Replace python3 with python2.

The line number in correct when using the -x option: Py_Main() uses
ungetc() to not skip the first newline character.

* Work around a GC process finalization bug.

The logging RLock instances may exist but the threading.RLock class
itself has already been emptied causing a
Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <function _removeHandlerRef ..."
to be printed to stderr on process termination.

This catches that exception and ignores it because there is absolutely
nothing we can or should do about it from the context of a weakref
handler called from the gc context.

Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field.  If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.

Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().
