Issue #26257: Eliminate buffer_tests.py and fix ByteArrayAsStringTest
ByteArrayAsStringTest.fixtype() was converting test data to bytes, not byte-
array, therefore many of the test cases inherited in this class were not
actually being run on the bytearray type.
The tests in buffer_tests.py were redundant with methods in string_tests
.MixinStrUnicodeUserStringTest and string_tests.CommonTest. Moved some tests
into a new base class string_tests.NonStringModuleTest, and run them for
bytearray.

Issue #6953: Rearrange and expand Readline module documentation
* Group functions into six new subsections
* Document the underlying Readline function or variable accessed
* get_history_length() returns the history file limit
* clear_history() is conditionally compiled in
* Clarify zero and one bases for history item indexes
* parse_and_bind() uses its argument directly as an init line
* Change "command line" to "line buffer" for consistency
* read_init_file() also executes the file
* read_history_file() replaces the previous history
* write_history_file() overwrites any existing file
* Differentiate history file lines from history list items, which could be
multi-line
* Add more information about completion, also addressing Issue #10796
* libedit (Editline) may be used on any platform; detection is OS X specific

Change OS X installer builds targeted for 10.10 and above to build
and link with a private copy of OpenSSL, like installers targeted
for 10.5 already do, since Apple has deprecated use of the system
OpenSSL and removed its header files from the Xcode 7 SDK. Note
that this configuration is not currently used to build any
python.org-supplied installers and that the private copy of
OpenSSL requires its own root certificates.

Issue #25136: Support Apple Xcode 7's new textual SDK stub libraries.
As of Xcode 7, SDKs for Apple platforms now include textual-format stub
libraries whose file names have a .tbd extension rather than the
standard OS X .dylib extension. The Apple compiler tool chain handles
these stub libraries transparently and the installed system shared libraries
are still .dylibs. However, the new stub libraries cause problems for
third-party programs that support building with Apple SDKs and make
build-time decisions based on the presence or paths of system-supplied
shared libraries in the SDK. In particular, building Python itself with
an SDK fails to find system-supplied libraries during setup.py's build of
standard library extension modules. The solution is to have
find_library_file() in Distutils search for .tbd files, along with
the existing types (.a, .so, and .dylib). Patch by Tim Smith.
