See PEP 539 for details.

Highlights of changes:

- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API

* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals

Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).

Windows buildbots started failing due to include-related errors.

* bpo-30832: Remove own implementation for thread-local storage

CPython has provided the own implementation for thread-local storage
(TLS) on Python/thread.c, it's used in the case which a platform has
not supplied native TLS.  However, currently all supported platforms
(NT and pthreads) have provided native TLS and defined the
Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS macro with unconditional in any case.

* bpo-30832: replace NT with Windows

* bpo-30832: change to directive chain

* bpo-30832: remove comemnt which making no sense

* Doc nits for bpo-16500

* Fix more references

Python/thread_foobar.h is the template code that is threading adaptation
for new platforms, also hasn't been used on actual platforms.
Python/thread_*.h give concrete examples of adaptation instead of the
template code.

* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.

From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".

* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().

This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.

warnings in the Python/ subdirectory.

In Python 3.3, PyThread_set_key_value() did nothing if the key already exists
(if the current value is a non-NULL pointer).

When _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() is called twice on the same thread with a
different Python thread state, it still keeps the old Python thread state to
keep the old behaviour. Replacing the Python thread state with the new state
introduces new bugs: see issues #10915 and #15751.

test_capi is failing and the fix is not trivial, I prefer to revert

the function did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value is a
non-NULL pointer).

_testcapi.run_in_subinterp() now correctly sets the new Python thread state of
the current thread when a subinterpreter is created.

PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).

 * PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
 * Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error

* Replace malloc() with PyMem_RawMalloc()
* Replace PyMem_Malloc() with PyMem_RawMalloc() where the GIL is not held.
* _Py_char2wchar() now returns a buffer allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc(), instead
  of PyMem_Malloc()

Skip test_lock_acquire_interruption() and test_rlock_acquire_interruption() of
test_threadsignals if a thread lock is implemented using a POSIX mutex and a
POSIX condition variable. A POSIX condition variable cannot be interrupted by a
signal (e.g. on Linux, the futex system call is restarted).

  Adds a sanity check to avoid a *very rare* infinite loop due to a corrupt tls
  key list data structure in the thread startup path.

  This change is a companion to r60148 which already successfully dealt with a
  similar issue on thread shutdown.

  In particular this loop has been observed happening from this call path:
   #0  in find_key ()
   #1  in PyThread_set_key_value ()
   #2  in _PyGILState_NoteThreadState ()
   #3  in PyThreadState_New ()
   #4  in t_bootstrap ()
   #5  in pthread_start_thread ()

  I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely.  On more than
  one hardware platform.  I have not been able to reproduce it manually.
  (A flaky mutex implementation on the system in question is one hypothesis).

  As with r60148, the spinning we managed to observe in the wild was due to a
  single list element pointing back upon itself.
