* gh-112532: Use separate mimalloc heaps for GC objects
In `--disable-gil` builds, we now use four separate heaps in
anticipation of using mimalloc to find GC objects when the GIL is
disabled. To support this, we also make a few changes to mimalloc:
* `mi_heap_t` and `mi_tld_t` initialization is split from allocation.
This allows us to have a `mi_tld_t` per-`PyThreadState`, which is
important to keep interpreter isolation, since the same OS thread may
run in multiple interpreters (using different PyThreadStates.)
* Heap abandoning (mi_heap_collect_ex) can now be called from a
different thread than the one that created the heap. This is necessary
because we may clear and delete the containing PyThreadStates from a
different thread during finalization and after fork().
* Use enum instead of defines and guard mimalloc includes.
* The enum typedef will be convenient for future PRs that use the type.
* Guarding the mimalloc includes allows us to unconditionally include
pycore_mimalloc.h from other header files that rely on things like
`struct _mimalloc_thread_state`.
* Only define _mimalloc_thread_state in Py_GIL_DISABLED builds
Fix error check on mmap(2)
It should check MAP_FAILED instead of NULL for error.
On mmap(2) man page:
RETURN VALUE
On success, mmap() returns a pointer to the mapped area.
On error, the value MAP_FAILED (that is, (void *) -1) is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
It was raised in two cases:
* in the import statement when looking up __import__
* in pickling some builtin type when looking up built-ins iter, getattr, etc.
We need the TracebackException of uncaught exceptions for a single purpose: the error display. Thus we only need to pass the formatted error display between interpreters. Passing a pickled TracebackException is overkill.
The `PyThreadState_Clear()` function must only be called with the GIL
held and must be called from the same interpreter as the passed in
thread state. Otherwise, any Python objects on the thread state may be
destroyed using the wrong interpreter, leading to memory corruption.
This is also important for `Py_GIL_DISABLED` builds because free lists
will be associated with PyThreadStates and cleared in
`PyThreadState_Clear()`.
This fixes two places that called `PyThreadState_Clear()` from the wrong
interpreter and adds an assertion to `PyThreadState_Clear()`.
When an exception is uncaught in Interpreter.exec_sync(), it helps to show that exception's error display if uncaught in the calling interpreter. We do so here by generating a TracebackException in the subinterpreter and passing it between interpreters using pickle.
This fixes a recently introduced bug where the deferred count is being unnecessarily decremented to counteract an increment elsewhere that is no longer happening. This caused the values to flip around to "very large" 64-bit numbers.
glibc-2.34 implements closefrom(3) using the same semantics as on BSD.
Check for closefrom() in configure and use the check result in
fileutils.c, rather than hardcoding a FreeBSD check.
Some implementations of closefrom() return an int. Explicitly discard
the return value by casting it to void, to avoid future compiler
warnings.

This replaces some usages of PyThread_type_lock with PyMutex, which does not require memory allocation to initialize.
This simplifies some of the runtime initialization and is also one step towards avoiding changing the default raw memory allocator during initialize/finalization, which can be non-thread-safe in some circumstances.
Every PyThreadState instance is now actually a _PyThreadStateImpl.
It is safe to cast from `PyThreadState*` to `_PyThreadStateImpl*` and back.
The _PyThreadStateImpl will contain fields that we do not want to expose
in the public C API.
This updates `dtoa.c` to avoid using the Bigint free-list in --disable-gil builds and
to pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization.
* gh-111962: Make dtoa thread-safe in `--disable-gil` builds.
This avoids using the Bigint free-list in `--disable-gil` builds
and pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization.
* Fix size of cached powers of 5 array.
We need the powers of 5 up to 5**512 because we only jump straight to
underflow when the exponent is less than -512 (or larger than 308).
* Rename Py_NOGIL to Py_GIL_DISABLED
* Changes from review
* Fix assertion placement
If the input prompt to the builtin input function on terminal has any null
character, then raise ValueError instead of silently truncating it.

Previously arbitrary errors could be cleared during formatting error
messages for ImportError or AttributeError for modules. Now all
unexpected errors are reported.
* Implement _Py_HashPointerRaw() as a static inline function.
* Add Py_HashPointer() tests to test_capi.test_hash.
* Keep _Py_HashPointer() function as an alias to Py_HashPointer().
Change the declaration of the keywords parameter in functions
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() and PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords() from `char **`
to `char * const *` in C and `const char * const *` in C++.
It makes these functions compatible with argument of type `const char * const *`,
`const char **` or `char * const *` in C++ and `char * const *` in C
without explicit type cast.

Use a fraction internally in the _PyTime API to reduce the risk of
integer overflow: simplify the fraction using Greatest Common
Divisor (GCD). The fraction API is used by time functions:
perf_counter(), monotonic() and process_time().
For example, QueryPerformanceFrequency() usually returns 10 MHz on
Windows 10 and newer. The fraction SEC_TO_NS / frequency =
1_000_000_000 / 10_000_000 can be simplified to 100 / 1.
* Add _PyTimeFraction type.
* Add functions:
* _PyTimeFraction_Set()
* _PyTimeFraction_Mul()
* _PyTimeFraction_Resolution()
* No longer check "numer * denom <= _PyTime_MAX" in
_PyTimeFraction_Set(). _PyTimeFraction_Mul() uses _PyTime_Mul()
which handles integer overflow.
* Move _PyRuntimeState.time to _posixstate.ticks_per_second and
time_module_state.ticks_per_second.
* Add time_module_state.clocks_per_second.
* Rename _PyTime_GetClockWithInfo() to py_clock().
* Rename _PyTime_GetProcessTimeWithInfo() to py_process_time().
* Add process_time_times() helper function, called by
py_process_time().
* os.times() is now always built: no longer rely on HAVE_TIMES.
