* Make musl test skips smarter (fixes Alpine errors)
A relatively small number of tests fail when the underlying c library is
provided by musl. This was originally reported in bpo-46390 by
Christian Heimes. Among other changes, these tests were marked for
skipping in gh-31947/ef1327e3 as part of bpo-40280 (emscripten support),
but the skips were conditioned on the *platform* being emscripten (or
wasi, skips for which ere added in 9b50585e02).
In gh-131071 Victor Stinner added a linked_to_musl function to enable
skipping a test in test_math that fails under musl, like it does on a
number of other platforms. This check can successfully detect that
python is running under musl on Alpine, which was the original problem
report in bpo-46390.
This PR replaces Victor's solution with an enhancement to
platform.libc_ver that does the check more cheaply, and also gets the
version number. The latter is important because the math test being
skipped is due to a bug in musl that has been fixed, but as of this
checkin date has not yet been released. When it is, the test skip can
be fixed to check for the minimum needed version.
The enhanced version of linked_to_musl is also used to do the skips of
the other tests that generically fail under musl, as opposed to
emscripten or wasi only failures. This will allow these tests to be
skipped automatically on Alpine.
This PR does *not* enhance libc_ver to support emscripten and wasi, as
I'm not familiar with those platforms; instead it returns a version
triple of (0, 0, 0) for those platforms. This means the musl tests will
be skipped regardless of musl version, so ideally someone will add
support to libc_ver for these platforms.
* Platform tests and bug fixes.
In adding tests for the new platform code I found a bug in the old code:
if a valid version is passed for version and it is greater than the
version found for an so *and* there is no glibc version, then the
version from the argument was returned. The code changes here fix
that.
* Add support docs, including for some preexisting is_xxx's.
* Add news item about libc_ver enhancement.
* Prettify platform re expression using re.VERBOSE.
If SRE(match) function terminates abruptly, either because of a signal
or because memory allocation fails, allocated SRE_REPEAT blocks might
be never released.

A few of our tests measure the time of CPU-bound operation, mainly
to avoid quadratic or worse behaviour.
Add a helper to ignore GC and time spent in other processes.
Renamed re.error for clarity, and kept re.error for backward compatibility.
Updated idlelib files at TJR's request.

Now re.error is raised instead of OverflowError or RuntimeError for
too large width of look-behind pattern.
The limit is increased to 2**32-1 (was 2**31-1).
Deprecate passing optional arguments maxsplit, count and flags in
module-level functions re.split(), re.sub() and re.subn() as positional.
They should only be passed by keyword.
It did not work in the case of a subpattern containing backtracking.
Temporary implement possessive quantifiers as equivalent greedy qualifiers
in atomic groups.
Some items remained uninitialized if _sre.template() was called with invalid
indices. Then attempt to clear them in the destructor led to dereferencing
of uninitialized pointer.
This starts the process. Users who don't specify their own start method
and use the default on platforms where it is 'fork' will see a
DeprecationWarning upon multiprocessing.Pool() construction or upon
multiprocessing.Process.start() or concurrent.futures.ProcessPool use.
See the related issue and documentation within this change for details.
In very rare circumstances the JUMP opcode could be confused with the
argument of the opcode in the "then" part which doesn't end with the
JUMP opcode. This led to incorrect detection of the final JUMP opcode
and incorrect calculation of the size of the subexpression.
NOTE: Changed return value of functions _validate_inner() and
_validate_charset() in Modules/_sre/sre.c. Now they return 0 on success,
-1 on failure, and 1 if the last op is JUMP (which usually is a failure).
Previously they returned 1 on success and 0 on failure.
Adds a regression test for an re slowdown observed by rjsmin.
Uses multiprocessing to kill the test after SHORT_TIMEOUT.

Revert "bpo-23689: re module, fix memory leak when a match is terminated by a signal or memory allocation failure (GH-32283)"
This reverts commit 6e3eee5c11.
Manual fixups to increase the MAGIC number and to handle conflicts with
a couple of changes that landed after that.
Thanks for reviews by Ma Lin and Serhiy Storchaka.
Only sequence of ASCII digits is now accepted as a numerical reference.
The group name in bytes patterns and replacement strings can now only
contain ASCII letters and digits and underscore.

In expression (?(group)...) an appropriate re.error is now
raised if the group number refers to not defined group.
Previously it raised RuntimeError: invalid SRE code.
In rare cases, capturing group could get wrong result.
Regular expression engines in Perl and Java have similar bugs.
The new behavior now matches the behavior of more modern
RE engines: in the regex module and in PHP, Ruby and Node.js.
