Adds a `use_system_log` config item to enable stdout/stderr redirection for
Apple platforms. This log streaming is then used by a new iOS test runner
script, allowing the display of test suite output at runtime. The iOS test
runner script can be used by any Python project, not just the CPython test
suite.
"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should
be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign
of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure
imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for
complex elementary functions.
This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and
complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular,
there is no special version for the true division with real lhs
operand). Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these
special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be
deprecated in C2y).
* Document that slices can be marshalled
* Deduplicate and organize the list of supported types
in docs
* Organize the type code list in marshal.c, to make
it more obvious that this is a versioned format
* Back-fill some historical info

It looks like commit 43cf44ddcc
(gh-31501) accidentally moved the paragraph to the `tp_finalize`
section when the intent was to move it to the `tp_dealloc` section
(according to the commit message).
Also:
* Convert the paragraph to a warning.
* Apply the appropriate font style to `tp_dealloc`.
* Unlinkify the first mention of `tp_dealloc` since the paragraph is
already in the `tp_dealloc` section.
Users want to know when the current context switches to a different
context object. Right now this happens when and only when a context
is entered or exited, so the enter and exit events are synonymous with
"switched". However, if the changes proposed for gh-99633 are
implemented, the current context will also switch for reasons other
than context enter or exit. Since users actually care about context
switches and not enter or exit, replace the enter and exit events with
a single switched event.
The former exit event was emitted just before exiting the context.
The new switched event is emitted after the context is exited to match
the semantics users expect of an event with a past-tense name. If
users need the ability to clean up before the switch takes effect,
another event type can be added in the future. It is not added here
because YAGNI.
I skipped 0 in the enum as a matter of practice. Skipping 0 makes it
easier to troubleshoot when code forgets to set zeroed memory, and it
aligns with best practices for other tools (e.g.,
https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/dos-donts/#unspecified-enum).

* Add definitions for "context", "current context", and "context
management protocol".
* Update related definitions to be consistent with the new
definitions.
* Restructure the documentation for the `contextvars.Context` class
to prepare for adding context manager support, and for consistency
with the definitions.
* Use `testcode` and `testoutput` to test the `Context.run` example.
* Expand the documentation for the `Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_ENTER` and
`Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_EXIT` events to clarify and to prepare for
planned changes.
- move the Py_Main documentation from the very high level API section
to the initialization and finalization section
- make it clear that it encapsulates a full Py_Initialize/Finalize
cycle of its own
- point out that exactly which settings will be read and applied
correctly when Py_Main is called after a separate runtime
initialization call is version dependent
- be explicit that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
initialization
- actually test that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
initialization
- flush stdout in the embedding tests that run code so it appears
in the expected order when running with "-vv"
- make "-vv" on the subinterpreter embedding tests less spammy

The term "free variable" has unfortunately become genuinely
ambiguous over the years (presumably due to the names of
some relevant code object instance attributes).
While we can't eliminate that ambiguity at this late date, we can
at least alert people to the potential ambiguity by describing
both the formal meaning of the term and the common
alternative use as a direct synonym for "closure variable".

Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

Make `versionchanged:: next`` expand to current (unreleased) version.
When a new CPython release is cut, the release manager will replace
all such occurences of "next" with the just-released version.
