Turn the redeclaration of attributes as C methods into an error since it currently leads to difficult to predict behaviour. (#4661)

Remove Stackless hack for looking up "PyFrameObject.f_localsplus" from Stackless 3.8 on. CPython never needed this.

This creates two copies of the function, one for the exception
case and one for the non-exception case. It's probably inefficient
but the simplest solution.

Add a "minimal compile" build mode that speeds up the compiler somewhat but keeps the number of compiled modules low.

runtests: Print shard number also for each command in the EndToEnd test error output to make it easy to find in the logs.

runtests: print the shard number in front of the test name to show which was the last test in case it hangs.

Nested cdef classes are not tested because they don't officially work
at this stage (see https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/4572).
It should be tested if/when they're fully supported.

Limited API: Fix line number reporting in tracebacks that accidentally used 'c_line' instead of 'py_line'. In fact, we cannot currently show the C line, so disable C line reporting completely here.

Follow PEP-484 and warn about "func(x: list = None)" without an explicit "typing.Optional[]" declaration.

Avoid an unnecessary inefficiency in a regex, although it is not relevant in practice since the regex is only applied to Cython's only C code.
