Change summary:
+ There is now a `gzip.READ_BUFFER_SIZE` constant that is 128KB. Other programs that read in 128KB chunks: pigz and cat. So this seems best practice among good programs. Also it is faster than 8 kb chunks.
+ a zlib._ZlibDecompressor was added. This is the _bz2.BZ2Decompressor ported to zlib. Since the zlib.Decompress object is better for in-memory decompression, the _ZlibDecompressor is hidden. It only makes sense in file decompression, and that is already implemented now in the gzip library. No need to bother the users with this.
+ The ZlibDecompressor uses the older Cpython arrange_output_buffer functions, as those are faster and more appropriate for the use case.
+ GzipFile.read has been optimized. There is no longer a `unconsumed_tail` member to write back to padded file. This is instead handled by the ZlibDecompressor itself, which has an internal buffer. `_add_read_data` has been inlined, as it was just two calls.
EDIT: While I am adding improvements anyway, I figured I could add another one-liner optimization now to the python -m gzip application. That read chunks in io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE previously, but has been updated now to use READ_BUFFER_SIZE chunks.
#97530 fixed IDLE tests possibly crashing on a Mac without a GUI.
But it resulted in IDLE not starting in 3.10.8, 3.12.0a1, and
Microsoft Python 3.10.2288.0 when test/* is not installed.
After this patch, test.* is only imported when testing on Mac.
This is the next step for deprecating child watchers.
Until we've removed the API completely we have to use it, so this PR is mostly suppressing a lot of warnings when using the API internally.
Once the child watcher API is totally removed, the two child watcher implementations we actually use and need (Pidfd and Thread) will be turned into internal helpers.
On macOS, fix a crash in syslog.syslog() in multi-threaded
applications. On macOS, the libc syslog() function is not
thread-safe, so syslog.syslog() no longer releases the GIL to call
it.

The "pyperf command" tool be used instead. Example:
$ python3 -m pyperf command -- python3 -c pass
.....................
command: Mean +- std dev: 17.8 ms +- 0.4 ms
pyperf also computes the standard deviation which gives an idea of
the benchmark looks reliable or not.
Signal wakeup fd errors are now logged with
_PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg(), rather than PySys_WriteStderr() and
PyErr_WriteUnraisable(), to pass the error message to
sys.unraisablehook. By default, it's still written into stderr (unless
sys.unraisablehook is overriden).
test_tools.test_sundry() now uses an unittest mock to prevent the
logging module to register a real "atfork" function which kept the
logging module dictionary alive. So the logging module can be
properly unloaded. Previously, the logging module was loaded before
test_sundry(), but it's no longer the case since recent test_tools
sub-tests removals.
The `}` marked with `/* End instructions */` is the end of the switch.
There is another pair of `{}` around the switch, which is vestigial
from ancient times when it was `for (;;) { switch (opcode) { ... } }`.
All `DISPATCH` macro calls should be inside that pair.
asciilib_count() is the same than ucs1lib_count(): the code is not
specialized for ASCII strings, so it's not worth it to have a
separated function. Remove asciilib_count() function.
Remove outdated example scripts of the Tools/scripts/ directory:
* gprof2html.py
* md5sum.py
* nm2def.py
* pathfix.py
* win_add2path.py
Remove test_gprof2html, test_md5sum and test_pathfix of test_tools.
