python-gdb now catchs ValueError on read_var(): when Python has no
debug symbols for example.

* Enhance also format_duration(): work on integers and rounds towards
  +infinity (math.ceil).
* Write unit tests on format_duration()

Testing strategy: whitebox.

All the subinterpreter tests were disabled in gh-7513. This commit re-enables them, but leaves one bad test disabled. The test is partly causing problems because it makes assumptions about the availability of a high-level interpreters module (see PEP 554). So I'm disabling the test until such a high-level module is available.

string.Formatter auto-numbering feature was added in 3.4 and there
is no versionchanged note in its documentation, making the documentation
ambiguous about which version the feature is available.

* update doc

* remove outdated doc

* remove last CopyFileEx remnants

* OSX - use fcopyfile(3) instead of copyfile(3)

...as an extra safety measure: in case src/dst are "exotic" files (non
regular or living on a network fs etc.) we better fail on open() instead
of copyfile(3) as we're not quite sure what's gonna happen in that
case.

* update doc

When attempting to base64-decode a payload of invalid length (1 mod 4),
properly recognize and handle it.  The given data will be returned as-is,
i.e. not decoded, along with a new defect, InvalidBase64LengthDefect.

The documentation for CERT_NONE, CERT_OPTIONAL, and CERT_REQUIRED were
misleading and partly wrong. It fails to explain that OpenSSL behaves
differently in client and server mode. Also OpenSSL does validate the
cert chain everytime. With SSL_VERIFY_NONE a validation error is not
fatal in client mode and does not request a client cert in server mode.
Also discourage people from using CERT_OPTIONAL in client mode.

Change suggested by Eryk Sun in a comment on PR 7137 after it was merged.

This is a separate PR because this does not backport to 3.6.

On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python binary
unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this should
make text and lines sharper. It should otherwise have no effect.

Using a magnifier, I determined that the improvement comes from horizontal and
lines being better lined up with the monitor pixels. I checked that this call causes
no problem on any Windows buildbot, including the Win7 buildbots. Unlike most
IDLE patches, this one can be easily reverted by users by removing a few lines,
at the top of idlelib/pyshell.py.

The docs claimed that a list of EmailMessage objects could be
passed to set_content(), but this was never implemented.

* Add declarations even if they are overridden by macros.
* Make the declaration and the definition of PyExceptionClass_Name
  consistent.

Before Python 3.6, os.path.abspath(None) used to report an AttributeError which was properly caught inside site.abs_paths, making it ignore __main__, one of sys.modules, which has __file__ and __cached__ set to None. With 3.6, os.path.abspath(None) raises TypeError instead which site.abs_path was not expecting.  This resulted in an uncaught exception if a user had PYTHONSTARTUP set and the application called site.main() which a number of third-party programs do.

A datetime object d is aware if d.tzinfo is not None and
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) does  not return None. If d.tzinfo is None,
or if d.tzinfo is not None but d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returns None,
 d is naive.

This commit ensures that instances with non-None d.tzinfo, but
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returning None are treated as naive.

In addition, C acceleration code will raise TypeError if
d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) returns an object with the type other than
timedelta.

* Updated the documentation.

Assume that the term "naive" is defined elsewhere and remove the
not entirely correct clarification.  Thanks, Tim.

Users can now click on context lines.

This call became unneeded after the posix module was converted to the
Argument Clinic in 2f93635d and should
have been removed as part of that change.

Seems they were added by double applying blurb.
