os.readlink() now accepts path-like and bytes objects on Windows.
Previously, support for path-like and bytes objects was only
implemented on Unix.

This commit also merges Unix and Windows implementations of
os.readlink() in one function and adds basic unit tests to increase
test coverage of the function.

Avoid undefined pointer arithmetic with NULL.

Downstream vendors have started to deprecate weak keys. Update all RSA keys
and DH params to use at least 2048 bits.

Finite field DH param file use RFC 7919 values, generated with

    certtool --get-dh-params --sec-param=high

Valgrind isn't seeing PyObject_Free/PyObject_Realloc, but using _PyObject_Free/_PyObject_Realloc works.

The main cause of this bug was fixed as part of bpo-31908.

The __getitem__ methods of DOMEventStream, FileInput,
and FileWrapper classes ignore their 'index' parameters
and return the next item instead.

In the documentation, the `env` directory is specified when we execute
the `make venv` command. But in the code, `make venv` will create the
virtualenv inside the `venv` directory (defined by `VENVDIR`)

posixmodule.c always declares environ, so don't bother catching a NameError in os.py.

PyErr_Print() always clears the error indicator, so there is no need
to call PyErr_Clear() immediately afterwards.

* bpo-34273: Change 'Fixed point' to 'Fixed-point notation'.
The change in the mini language floating point and decimal table
is consistent with 'Exponential notation' and clarifies that we
are referring to the output notation, not an object type.
