Fix free-threading scaling bottleneck in sys.intern and `PyObject_SetAttr` by
avoiding the interpreter-wide lock when the string is already interned and
immortalized.
This value indicating support the IEC 60559 floating-point standard (the
Annex F of C99). If enabled, the float type characteristics matches the
IEC 60559 double format and exceptional cases for the math's functions
follow to the section F.10 of the C99 standard.

Base64 decoder (see binascii.a2b_base64(), base64.b64decode(), etc)
no longer ignores excess data after the first padded quad in non-strict
(default) mode. Instead, in conformance with RFC 4648, it ignores the
pad character, "=", if it is present before the end of the encoded data.
Add base32 encoder and decoder functions implemented in
C to the binascii module and use them to greatly improve the
performance and reduce the memory usage of the existing
base32 codec functions in the base64 module.
Also fix a few related issues in the pyatomic headers:
* Fix _Py_atomic_store_uint_release in pyatomic_msc.h to use __stlr32
on ARM64 instead of a plain volatile store (which is only relaxed on
ARM64).
* Add missing _Py_atomic_store_uint_release to pyatomic_gcc.h.
* Fix pseudo-code comment for _Py_atomic_store_ptr_release in
pyatomic.h.
* Add the alphabet parameter in functions b2a_base64(), a2b_base64(),
b2a_base85(), and a2b_base85().
* And a number of "*_ALPHABET" constants.
* Remove b2a_z85() and a2b_z85().
Add special cases for classmethod and staticmethod descriptors in
_PyObject_GetMethodStackRef() to avoid calling tp_descr_get, which
avoids reference count contention on the bound method and underlying
callable. This improves scaling when calling classmethods and
staticmethods from multiple threads.
Also refactor method_vectorcall in classobject.c into a new _PyObject_VectorcallPrepend() helper so that it can be used by
PyObject_VectorcallMethod as well.
Validate the frame rate after rounding to an integer, not before.
This prevents values like 0.5 from passing validation (0.5 > 0)
but then rounding to 0, which would cause a confusing delayed error
"sampling rate not specified" when writing frames.
With this fix, setframerate(0.5) immediately raises "bad frame rate",
providing clear feedback at the point of the error.
The DIALECT_GETATTR macro in dialect_new() unconditionally called
PyErr_Clear() when PyObject_GetAttrString() failed, which suppressed
all exceptions including MemoryError, KeyboardInterrupt, and
RuntimeError. Now only AttributeError is cleared; other exceptions
propagate via the existing error handling path.

Replace hardcoded space indentation with proper troff macros
(.TP, .RS/.RE, .IP) for -X sub-options so text wraps correctly
at any terminal width.

freeze_support() called get_start_method() without allow_none=True,
which locked in the default start method context. This caused a
subsequent set_start_method() call to raise "context has already been
set". Use allow_none=True and accept None as a matching value, since
spawn.freeze_support() independently detects spawned child processes.
Test that freeze_support() does not lock in the default start method,
which would prevent a subsequent set_start_method() call.
