* bpo-27593: Updates Windows build to use information from git

sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.

Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.

Change False into false, and True into true.

Previously we configured the mention-bot to only mention people who are members of the Python organization. However, this doesn't currently work
if members don't have their membership public. Instead we will configure mention-bot to poke anyone, even non-members.

* init commit, with initial tests for from_param and fields __set__ and __get__, and some additions to from_buffer and from_buffer_copy

* added the rest of tests and patches. probably only a first draft.

* removed trailing spaces

* replace ctype with ctypes in error messages

* change back from ctypes instance to ctype instance

Allow developers to not have to either test on N Python versions or
looked through multiple versions of the docs to know whether they can

On PyMem_Realloc failure, _PyCode_SetExtra should free co_extra if
co_extra->ce_extras could not be allocated.
On PyMem_Realloc success, _PyCode_SetExtra should set all unused slots in
co_extra->ce_extras to NULL.

The curses module used mkstemp() + fopen() to create a temporary file in
/tmp. The /tmp directory does not exist on Android. The tmpfile()
function simplifies the task a lot. It creates a temporary file in a
correct directory, takes care of cleanup and returns FILE*.

tmpfile is supported on all platforms (C89, POSIX 2001, Android,
Windows).

The way mocking is written in these tests, we need to have the underlying function around.

#157 added the test, but it's currently (correctly) broken on windows.

If ctypes is not available, _uuid_generate_time will be None not its restype attribute.
