* [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Prefer gio open over gvfs-open
gvfs-open(1) was superseded by gio(1) in 2015, and removed from GNOME
releases in 2018. Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu currently still
have a compatibility shim for gvfs-open, but we plan to remove it.
webbrowser prefers xdg-settings and xdg-open over gvfs-open, so this
will only have any practical effect on systems where the xdg-utils
package is not installed.
Note that we don't check for GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID before using gio.
gio does the right thing on any desktop environment that follows
freedesktop.org specifications, similar to xdg-settings, so it's
unnecessary to guard in this way. GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was deprecated
in 2008 and removed from upstream gnome-session in 2018 (it's still
present in Debian/Ubuntu for backward compatibility, but probably
shouldn't be). The replacement way to detect a desktop environment is
the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable, which is a colon-separated
sequence where the first item is the current desktop environment and the
second and subsequent items (if present) are other desktop environments
that it resembles or is based on.
Resolves:
* [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Never invoke gnome-open
gnome-open was part of GNOME 2, which was superseded in around 2010 and
is unmaintained. The replacement was gvfs-open, which was subsequently
replaced by gio(1) (as used in the previous commit).
* [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Don't run gvfs-open on GNOME
gvfs-open was deprecated in 2015 and removed in 2018. The replacement
is gio(1) (as used in a previous commit).
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was deprecated in 2008 and removed in 2018.
The replacement is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (as mentioned in a previous
commit).

To test this on a typical modern Linux system, it is necessary to disable the `xdg-settings` and `xdg-open` code paths, for example with this hack:

I haven't attempted to assess which of the specific web browsers such as Galeon are still extant, and which ones disappeared years ago. They could almost certainly be cleaned up, but that's beyond the scope of this PR.

Instead we use $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) .../deepfreeze.py with the
frozen .h file as input, as we did for Windows in bpo-45850.
We also get rid of the code that generates the .h files
when make regen-frozen is run (i.e., .../make_frozen.py),
and the MANIFEST file.
Restore Python 3.8 and 3.9 as Windows host Python again

* Make internal APIs that take PyFrameConstructor take a PyFunctionObject instead.
* Add reference to function to frame, borrow references to builtins and globals.
* Add COPY_FREE_VARS instruction to allow specialization of calls to inner functions.
Implement changes to build with deep-frozen modules on Windows.
Note that we now require Python 3.10 as the "bootstrap" or "host" Python.
This causes a modest startup speed (around 7%) on Windows.
Special handling is needed, because for non-slots dataclasses the instance attributes are not set: reading from a field just references the class's attribute of the same name, which contains the default value. But this doesn't work for classes using __slots__: they don't read the class's attribute. So in that case (and that case only), initialize the instance attribute. Handle this for both normal defaults, and for fields using default_factory.
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.
Some of the tests in test_queue had a race condition in which a
non-sentinel value could be enqueued after the final sentinel value
leading to not all the inputs being processed (and test failures).
This changes feed() to enqueue a sentinel once the inputs are exhausted,
which guarantees that the final queued object is a sentinel. This
requires the number of feeder threads to match the number of consumer
threads, but that's already the case in the relevant tests.
``configure`` now uses a standardized format to forward state, compiler
flags, and linker flags to ``Makefile``, ``setup.py``, and
``Modules/Setup``. ``makesetup`` use the new variables by default if a
module line does not contain any compiler or linker flags. ``setup.py``
has a new function ``addext()``.
For a module ``egg``, configure adds:
* ``MODULE_EGG`` with value yes, missing, disabled, or n/a
* ``MODULE_EGG_CFLAGS``
* ``MODULE_EGG_LDFLAGS``
``Makefile.pre.in`` may also provide ``MODULE_EGG_DEPS`` that lists
dependencies such as header files and static libs.

Unlike the other locks reinitialized by _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads,
the "interpreters.main->id_mutex" is not freed by _PyRuntimeState_Fini
and should not force the default raw allocator.

* bpo-45772: socket.socket should be a class instead of a function
Currently `socket.socket` is documented as a function, but it is really
a class (and thus has function-like usage to construct an object). This
correction would ensure that Python projects that are interlinking
Python's documentation can properly locate `socket.socket` as a type.
Remove the --findleaks command line option of regrtest: use the
--fail-env-changed option instead. Since Python 3.7, it was a
deprecated alias to the --fail-env-changed option.
This gains 10% or more in startup time for `python -c pass` on UNIX-ish systems.
The Makefile.pre.in generating code builds on Eric's work for bpo-45020, but the .c file generator is new.
Windows version TBD.
Almost all checks are now cached by AC_CACHE_CHECK().
Common patterns are replaced by helper macros.
Variable names now use naming scheme ``ac_cv_func_$funcname``,
``ac_cv_lib_$library_$funcname``, or ``ac_cv_header_$headername_h``.
``SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME`` is no longer used.
``uuid_create`` and ``uuid_enc_be`` are provided by libc on BSD. It is
safe to use ``AC_CHECK_FUNCS`` here.
Caching speeds up ./configure -C from ~ 4s to 2.6s on my system.

In order to fix a bug in the 3.9 branch in #29394, more tests were added to
``test_functools.py`` to ensure that ``singledispatchmethod`` still correctly
wrapped a target method, even if the target method had already been wrapped by
multiple other decorators. This PR brings the new tests into the 3.11 and 3.10
branches as well.
