_PyObject_DebugReallocApi() now calls Py_FatalError() if realloc()
fails to shrink a memory block.
Call Py_FatalError() because _PyObject_DebugReallocApi() erased freed
bytes *before* realloc(), expecting that realloc() *cannot* fail to
shrink a memory block.
* Rename support._match_test() to support.match_test(): make it
public
* Remove support.match_tests global variable. It is replaced with a
new support.set_match_tests() function, so match_test() doesn't
have to check each time if patterns were modified.
* Rewrite match_test(): use different code paths depending on the
kind of patterns for best performances.

[2.7] bpo-21149: Workaround a GC finalization bug in logging. (#4368)
* Work around a GC process finalization bug.
The logging RLock instances may exist but the threading.RLock class
itself has already been emptied causing a
Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <function _removeHandlerRef ..."
to be printed to stderr on process termination.
This catches that exception and ignores it because there is absolutely
nothing we can or should do about it from the context of a weakref
handler called from the gc context.

bpo-25720: Fix the method for checking pad state of curses WINDOW (GH-4164) (#4213)
Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field. If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.
Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().

test_curses now saves/restores signals. On FreeBSD, the curses module
sets handlers of some signals, but don't restore old handlers when
the module is deinitialized.
GCC says:

This isn't a real problem because if the file pointer is not NULL, the
string-related fields are never touched. But, it doesn't hurt to set the unused
fields to NULL.

TLS 1.3 introduces a new, distinct set of cipher suites. The TLS 1.3
cipher suites don't overlap with cipher suites from TLS 1.2 and earlier.
Since Python sets its own set of permitted ciphers, TLS 1.3 handshake
will fail as soon as OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released. Let's enable the common
AES-GCM and ChaCha20 suites.
Additionally the flag OP_NO_TLSv1_3 is added. It defaults to 0 (no op) with
OpenSSL prior to 1.1.1. This allows applications to opt-out from TLS 1.3
now.
