During runtime startup we figure out the stdlib dir but currently throw that information away. This change preserves it and exposes it via PyConfig.stdlib_dir, _Py_GetStdlibDir(), and sys._stdlib_dir.

Fix the threading._shutdown() function when the threading module was
imported first from a thread different than the main thread: no
longer log an error at Python exit.
This accomplishes 2 things:
* consolidates some common code between getpath.c and getpathp.c
* makes the helpers available to code in other files
FWIW, the signature of the join_relfile() function (in fileutils.c) intentionally mirrors that of Windows' PathCchCombineEx().
Note that this change is mostly moving code around. No behavior is meant to change.

Fix a race condition in the Thread.join() method of the threading
module. If the function is interrupted by a signal and the signal
handler raises an exception, make sure that the thread remains in a
consistent state to prevent a deadlock.
Mark the following thread_nt.h functions as static:
* AllocNonRecursiveMutex()
* FreeNonRecursiveMutex()
* EnterNonRecursiveMutex()
* LeaveNonRecursiveMutex()
py_win_perf_counter_frequency() no longer checks for
QueryPerformanceFrequency() failure. According to the
QueryPerformanceFrequency() documentation, the function can no longer
fails since Windows XP.
Having `operator.call(obj, arg)` mean `type(obj).__call__(obj, arg)` is
consistent with the other dunder operators. The semantics with `*args,
**kwargs` then follow naturally from the single-arg semantics.
The URL listed in the `logging` docs for the original `logging` module leads to a 404. I managed to find the new location for the page and updated the URL.

On Windows, time.sleep() now uses a waitable timer which has a
resolution of 100 ns (10^-7 sec). Previously, it had a solution of 1
ms (10^-3 sec).
* On Windows, time.sleep() now calls PyErr_CheckSignals() before
resetting the SIGINT event.
* Add _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds() function.
* Complete and update time.sleep() documentation.
