  Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
  acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
  from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
  dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
  and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
  Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
  instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

  This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
  programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
  functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
  warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

  This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
  getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
  problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
  re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
  holding the import lock.

  Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

(one which was strangely "resolved" by pgen)

This also kills the unused testlist1 rule and fixes parse tree validation of
extended unpacking.

(up to 3.1 times faster in tests), by special-casing base 10 in
_PyLong_Format.

  PyCode_NewEmpty:
  Most uses of PyCode_New found by http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=PyCode_New
  are trying to build an empty code object, usually to put it in a dummy frame
  object. This patch adds a PyCode_NewEmpty wrapper which lets the user specify
  just the filename, function name, and first line number, instead of also
  requiring lots of code internals.

  Issue 5954, PyFrame_GetLineNumber:
  Most uses of PyCode_Addr2Line
  (http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=PyCode_Addr2Line) are just trying to get
  the line number of a specified frame, but there's no way to do that directly.
  Forcing people to go through the code object makes them know more about the
  guts of the interpreter than they should need.

  The remaining uses of PyCode_Addr2Line seem to be getting the line from a
  traceback (for example,
  http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#u_9_nDrchrw/pygame-1.7.1release/src/base.c&q=PyCode_Addr2Line),
  which is replaced by the tb_lineno field.  So we may be able to deprecate
  PyCode_Addr2Line entirely for external use.

  Issue #6042:
  lnotab-based tracing is very complicated and isn't documented very well.  There
  were at least 3 comment blocks purporting to document co_lnotab, and none did a
  very good job. This patch unifies them into Objects/lnotab_notes.txt which
  tries to completely capture the current state of affairs.

  I also discovered that we've attached 2 layers of patches to the basic tracing
  scheme. The first layer avoids jumping to instructions that don't start a line,
  to avoid problems in if statements and while loops.  The second layer
  discovered that jumps backward do need to trace at instructions that don't
  start a line, so it added extra lnotab entries for 'while' and 'for' loops, and
  added a special case for backward jumps within the same line. I replaced these
  patches by just treating forward and backward jumps differently.
