whatsnew: summary section tweaks.
Removed an entry made redundant by the new security section,
Moved 'marshal' to the section on features other platforms
will need to support, and mention that 'help' is improved
by the inspect/pydoc changes (#19561 msg213153).

whatsnew: multiprocessing start methods and context (#8713 and #18999)
Also tweaked the docs a bit to use our standard style for
versionadded/changed. (I'm guessing there are other places
in the multiprocessing docs where similar tweaks should be made.)

Closes #20090: update Doc/README and the error message in sphinx-build.py to make
it clear that any Python 3.x is not usable with the checked out Sphinx.

#20871: improve email policy test coverage.
More tests of the concrete policy methods would probably be
a good idea, but this is a start, and it brings line coverage
up to 100% for the policy module.

whatsnew: sys.__interactivehook__. (#5845)
I decided to leave the (slightly expanded) Other Improvements
entry as well, since someone looking for command line behavior
changes isn't going to look in the 'sys' module section.

Improve descriptions of introspection changes
Several of the introspection changes in Python 3.4 are indirect,
where inspect module changes affected pydoc, and those in turn
affected the help builtin. This update adds versionchanged
notes in the key locations, as well as more coverage in the
What's New document (in particular, a note in the porting
section regarding the expanded domain for inspect.getfullargspec).

#10197: Update get[status]output versionchanged with actual version.
This was perhaps on the border between a bug fix and a feature since
the Python3 docs did not originally say it was unix only. However, the
functions never worked anywhere but unix, and the docs were changed to
say it was unix only well before the windows support was added.
Unfortunately, windows support was added in 3.3.4 as well as 3.4.
That leaves us in the uncomfortable position of needing the tag to say
"version changed: 3.3.4" :(

Make pywlauncher.vcxproj depend on make_versioninfo.vcxproj.
pylauncher.vcxproj already has the same dependency, and adding it to
the pywlauncher project eliminates the possibility of the pywlauncher
build failing when building the solution in parallel. In particular,
pywlauncher may fail to build when doing a "Rebuild Solution" from the
VS Build menu.

Issue #20283: RE pattern methods now accept the string keyword parameters

Make the various iterators' "setstate" sliently and consistently clip the

state.

whatsnew: tweak a couple importlib porting notes.
I had missed that there was already an entry for the Frozen package change, so
I combined mine with the existing one. Also added the info about the reload
change to the entry for the other changes to reload, but I'm missing an issue
number for the rest of the attribute behavior changes so I left myself an
XXX as a reminder to find it.
