test.support.HOST should be "localhost" as it was in the past. See the bpo-29639.

Tests that need the IP address should use HOSTv4 (added) or the existing HOSTv6 constant.

This changes the definition and fixes tests that needed updating to deal with HOST being
the hostname rather than the hardcoded IP address.

This is only the first step in addressing https://bugs.python.org/issue29639.

Allow configure --with-lto to apply to all builds, not just profile-opt builds.

Whether this is actually useful or not must be determined by the person
building CPython using their own toolchain.

My own quick test on x86_64 Debian 9 (gcc 6.3, binutils 2.28) seemed
to suggest that it wasn't, but I expect better toolchains can or will exist
at some point.  The point is to allow it at all.

The SSL module now raises SSLCertVerificationError when OpenSSL fails to
verify the peer's certificate. The exception contains more information about
the error.

* 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).

* bpo-29136: Add TLS 1.3 support

TLS 1.3 introduces a new, distinct set of cipher suites. The TLS 1.3
cipher suites don't overlap with cipher suites from TLS 1.2 and earlier.
Since Python sets its own set of permitted ciphers, TLS 1.3 handshake
will fail as soon as OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released. Let's enable the common
AES-GCM and ChaCha20 suites.

Additionally the flag OP_NO_TLSv1_3 is added. It defaults to 0 (no op) with
OpenSSL prior to 1.1.1. This allows applications to opt-out from TLS 1.3
now.

Remove redundant PyUnicode_Check call. Use a static table for checking chars.

Rather than requiring the path to blurb and/or sphinx-build to be specified to the make rule, enhance the Doc/Makefile to look for each first in a virtual environment created by make venv and, if not found, look on the normal process PATH. This allows the Doc/Makefile to take advantage of an installed spinx-build or blurb and, thus, do the right thing most of the time. Also, make the directory for the venv be configurable and document the `make venv` target.

f_trace_lines: enable/disable line trace events
f_trace_opcodes: enable/disable opcode trace events

These are intended primarily for testing of the interpreter
itself, as they make it much easier to emulate signals
arriving at unfortunate times.

To match the documentation updates already made.
Also renames the local variable used within to match
what it actually holds.

* bpo-27340: Use memoryview in SSLSocket.sendall()

SSLSocket.sendall() now uses memoryview to create slices of data. This fix
support for all bytes-like object. It is also more efficient and avoids
costly copies.

This fixes the gcc "warning: this use of "defined" may not be portable [-Wexpansion-to-defined]"

See discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue29505

The `subprocess.getstatusoutput` API was inadvertently changed
in Python 3.3.4.  Document the change, it is too late to undo the
API change now as it has shipped in many stable releases.

Also enable building externals by default on Windows, use PCbuild\build.bat's -E option to disable it.

For f-string ast nodes, fix the line and columns so that tools such as flake8 can identify them correctly.

Explain that backport PR should include branch name and the original PR number.

This adds support for parsing a command line where options and positionals are intermixed as is common in many unix commands. This is paul.j3's patch with a few tweaks.
