\Z was an error inherited from PCRE 0.95. It was fixed in PCRE 2.0.
In other engines, \Z means not “anchor at string end”, but
“anchor before optional newline at string end”.
\z means “anchor at string end” in most RE engines.
Renamed re.error for clarity, and kept re.error for backward compatibility.
Updated idlelib files at TJR's request.

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.
Functions re.sub() and re.subn() and corresponding re.Pattern methods
are now 2-3 times faster for replacement strings containing group references.
