This adds a `feature_version` flag to `ast.parse()` (documented) and `compile()` (hidden) that allow tweaking the parser to support older versions of the grammar. In particular if `feature_version` is 5 or 6, the hacks for the `async` and `await` keyword from PEP 492 are reinstated. (For 7 or higher, these are unconditionally treated as keywords, but they are still special tokens rather than `NAME` tokens that the parser driver recognizes.)

Remove 's' mention as there's no argument.

Change PyDTrace_GC_DONE() argument type from int to Py_ssize_t.

bpo-34247, bpo-36142: The PYTHONMALLOC environment variable has the
priority over PYTHONDEV env var and "-X dev" command line option.
For example, PYTHONMALLOC=malloc PYTHONDEVMODE=1 sets the memory
allocators to "malloc" (and not to "debug").

Add an unit test.

* Update pip to 19.0.3
* Update setuptools to 40.8.0

* _PyPreConfig_Read() now sets temporarily LC_CTYPE to the user
  preferred locale, as _PyPreConfig_Write() will do permanentely.
* Fix _PyCoreConfig_Clear(): clear run_xxx attributes
* _Py_SetArgcArgv() doesn't have to be exported
* _PyCoreConfig_SetGlobalConfig() no longer applies preconfig

* _PyPreConfig_Write() now reallocates the pre-configuration with the
  new memory allocator.
* It is no longer needed to force the "default raw memory allocator"
  to clear pre-configuration and core configuration. Simplify the
  code.
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now does nothing if called after
  Py_Initialize(): no longer check if the allocator is the same.
* Remove _PyMem_GetDebugAllocatorsName(): dev mode sets again
  allocator to "debug".

* _PyPreConfig_Write() now sets the memory allocator.
* _PyPreConfig_Write() gets a return type: _PyInitError.
* _Py_InitializeCore() now reads and writes the pre-configuration
  (set the memory allocator, configure the locale) before reading and
  writing the core configuration.

The development mode now uses the effective name of the debug memory
allocator ("pymalloc_debug" or "malloc_debug"). So the name doesn't
change after setting the memory allocator.

NamedStore has been replaced with Store. The difference between
NamedStore and Store is handled when precess the NamedExpr node
one level upper.

Correctly fixes bpo-36197.

* Move 'allocator' and 'dev_mode' fields from _PyCoreConfig
  to _PyPreConfig.
* Fix InitConfigTests of test_embed: dev_mode sets allocator to
  "debug", add a new tests for env vars with dev mode enabled.

Cast function pointers to (void(*)(void)) before casting to (PyCFunction)
to make "warning: cast between incompatible function types" false alarm quiet.

* Move following fields from _PyCoreConfig to _PyPreConfig:

  * coerce_c_locale
  * coerce_c_locale_warn
  * legacy_windows_stdio
  * utf8_mode

* _PyPreConfig_ReadFromArgv() is now responsible to choose the
  filesystem encoding
* _PyPreConfig_Write() now sets the LC_CTYPE locale

Methods are always bound, and `__self__` can no longer be `NULL`
(`method_new()` and `PyMethod_New()` both explicitly check for this).

Moreover, once a bound method is bound, it *stays* bound and won't be re-bound
to something else, so the section in the datamodel that talks about accessing
an methods in a different descriptor-binding context doesn't apply any more in
Python 3.

For command line option, `option` is better than `parameter`.

The new function is now responsible to parse -E and -I command line
arguments.

* Add _PyPreConfig structure
* Move 'ignored' and 'use_environment' fields from _PyCoreConfig
  to _PyPreConfig
* Add a new "_PyPreConfig preconfig;" field to _PyCoreConfig

Fix two unlikely reference leaks in _hashopenssl. The leaks only occur in
out-of-memory cases. Thanks to Charalampos Stratakis.

For C++ extensions, distutils tries to replace the C compiler with the
C++ compiler, but it assumes that C compiler is the first element after
any environment variables set. On AIX, linking goes through ld_so_aix,
so it is the first element and the compiler is the next element. Thus
the replacement is faulty:

ld_so_aix gcc ... -> g++ gcc ...

Also, it assumed that self.compiler_cxx had only 1 element or that
there were the same number of elements as the linker has and in the
same order. This might not be the case, so instead concatenate
everything together.

Use UTF-8 as the system encoding on VxWorks.

The main reason are:

1. The locale is frequently misconfigured.
2. Missing some functions to deal with locale in VxWorks C library.
