Performance optimizations on Fraction's constructor.
Change simple instances (in Fraction) of self.numerator and self.denominator to
self._numerator and self._denominator. This speeds abs() up from 12.2us to
10.8us and trunc() from 2.07us to 1.11us. This doesn't change _add and friends
because they're more complicated.

........
Finish the collections ABC table.

Show the inheritance hierarchy.
List all of the mixin methods provided automatically.
Fix-up the _from_iterable() method to return instances of the subclass where it is used.
In its previous form, it always returned instance of frozenset which makes this ABC
nearly useless as a mixin. In its new form, it needs to be able to assume that the
constructor will take a frozenset input. This will usually be true. If it is not,
then only one method (this one) will need to be overriden by the subclass to let
it know about the unique constructor signature. Will add info on this to the docs.

#1750076: Debugger did not step on every iteration of a while statement.
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.

Patch #1953
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache

Partially revert r60376: restore ability for ints to be automatically converted to floats, if a float type specifier is given to an int. PEP 3101 should be clarified on this point.Also, remove unused local variables left over from r60376.

Use a condition variable (threading.Event) rather than sleeps and checking a
global to determine when the server is ready to be used. This slows the test
down, but should make it correct. There was a race condition before where the
server could have assigned a port, yet it wasn't ready to serve requests. If
the client sent a request before the server was completely ready, it would get
an exception. There was machinery to try to handle this condition. All of
that should be unnecessary and removed if this change works. A NOTE was
added as a comment about what needs to be fixed.
The buildbots will tell us if there are more errors or
if this test is now stable.
