The function has no return value.

Fix the following warning on Windows:

    python\ceval.c(180): warning C4098: 'PyEval_InitThreads':
    'void' function returning a value

If argv is empty, add an empty string.

Replace messy _Py_wstrlist_xxx() functions with a new clean
_PyWstrList structure and new _PyWstrList_xxx() functions.

Changes:

* Add _PyCoreConfig.use_module_search_paths to decide if
  _PyCoreConfig.module_search_paths should be computed or not, to
  support empty search path list.
* _PyWstrList_Clear() sets length to 0 and items to NULL, whereas
  _Py_wstrlist_clear() only freed memory.
* _PyWstrList_Append() returns an int, whereas _Py_wstrlist_append()
  returned _PyInitError.
* _PyWstrList uses Py_ssize_t for the length, instead of int.
* Replace (int, wchar_t**) with _PyWstrList in:

  * _PyPreConfig
  * _PyCoreConfig
  * _PyPreCmdline
  * _PyCmdline

* Replace "int orig_argv; wchar_t **orig_argv;"
  with "_PyWstrList orig_argv".
* _PyCmdline and _PyPreCmdline now also copy wchar_argv.
* Rename _PyArgv_Decode() to _PyArgv_AsWstrList().
* PySys_SetArgvEx() now pass the fixed (argc, argv) to
  _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() (don't pass negative argc or NULL
  argv).
* _PyOS_GetOpt() uses Py_ssize_t

Fix CFLAGS in customize_compiler() of distutils.sysconfig: when the
CFLAGS environment variable is defined, don't override CFLAGS variable with
the OPT variable anymore.

This optimization is not only for space, but also for speed.

The value is a string for string and byte literals, None otherwise.
It is 'u' for u"..." literals, 'b' for b"..." literals, '' for "..." literals.
The 'r' (raw) prefix is ignored.
Does not apply to f-strings.

This appears sufficient to make mypy capable of using the stdlib ast module instead of typed_ast (assuming a mypy patch I'm working on).

WIP: I need to make the tests pass. @ilevkivskyi @serhiy-storchaka

Limited signal fields in VxWorks.

Fix an unlikely memory leak on conversion from string to float in the
function _Py_dg_strtod() used by float(str), complex(str),
pickle.load(), marshal.load(), etc.

Fix an unlikely memory leak in _Py_dg_strtod() on "undfl:" label:
rewrite memory management in this function to always release all
memory before exiting the function. Initialize variables to NULL, and
set them to NULL after calling Bfree() at the "cont:" label.

Note: Bfree(NULL) is well defined: it does nothing.

Sizeof new empty dict becomes 72 bytes from 240 bytes (amd64).
It is same size to empty dict created by dict.clear().

This is relevant for `debug doesnotexist()`, which would crash with a
NameError otherwise.

test_posix.PosixUidGidTests:

* Add tests for invalid uid/gid type (str)
* Add UID_OVERFLOW and GID_OVERFLOW constants to replace (1 << 32)
