deprecated in Python 3.4 and was suggested for removal in Python 3.5.

Define *posix_venv* and *nt_venv* sysconfig installation schemes
to be used for bootstrapping new virtual environments.
Add *venv* sysconfig installation scheme to get the appropriate one of the above.
The schemes are identical to the pre-existing
*posix_prefix* and *nt* install schemes.
The venv module now uses the *venv* scheme to create new virtual environments
instead of hardcoding the paths depending only on the platform. Downstream
Python distributors customizing the *posix_prefix* or *nt* install
scheme in a way that is not compatible with the install scheme used in
virtual environments are encouraged not to customize the *venv* schemes.
When Python itself runs in a virtual environment,
sysconfig.get_default_scheme and
sysconfig.get_preferred_scheme with `key="prefix"` returns
*venv*.
This defines VPATH differently in PGO instrumentation builds, to account for a different default output directory. It also adds sys._vpath on Windows to make the value available to sysconfig so that it can be used in tests.
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
A previous commit broke a check in sysconfig when building cpython itself.
This caused builds of the standard library modules to search a wrong
location (the installed location rather than the source directory) for
header files with the net effect that a ``make install``
incorrectly caused all extension modules to be rebuilt again and
with incorrect include file paths.
When building Python, we need two distinct "include" directories:
- source .h files
- install target for .h files
Note that this doesn't matter except when building Python from source.
Historically:
- source .h files were in the distutils scheme under 'include'
- the install directory was in the distutils.command.install scheme
under 'headers'
GH-24549 merged these; sysconfig is now the single source of truth and
distutils is derived from it.
This commit introduces a "secret" scheme path, 'headers', which contains
the install target. It is only present when building Python.
The distutils code uses it if present, and falls back to 'include'.

This change:
* merges `distutils.sysconfig` into `sysconfig` while keeping the original functionality and
* marks `distutils.sysconfig` as deprecated
https://bugs.python.org/issue41282
With this patch, `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES` are loaded from
`sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES`.
The distutils module is deprecated and will be removed in 3.12 (PEP 632).
This change makes the `sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES` the single point of truth
for install schemes while keeping `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES`
exactly the same. If we, during the transition to the sysconfig, change
something, this makes sure that it also propagates to distutils until the
module gets removed.
Moreover, as discussed [on Discourse], Linux distros need to patch
distutils/sysconfig to make sure the packages will land in proper locations.
This patch makes it easier because it leaves only one location where install
schemes are defined which is much easier to patch/adjust.
[on Discourse]: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-632-deprecate-distutils-module/5134
The implementation is slightly different than the plan but I think it's the
easiest way how to do it and it also makes the downstream patch simple,
flexible and easy to maintain.
It's also necessary to implement this before setuptools starts bundling
the distutils module so the default install schemes stay in the standard library.
The removed code from sysconfig does not seem to have any negative effect
because, honestly, it seems that nothing actually uses the install schemes
from sysconfig at all. There were many big changes in these modules where
they were trying to include packaging in stdlib and then reverted that.
Also, the test of distutils install command does not count with the different
locations which is good evidence that the reason to have this piece of code
is no longer valid.

This is the initial implementation of PEP 615, the zoneinfo module,
ported from the standalone reference implementation (see
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/#reference-implementation for a
link, which has a more detailed commit history).
This includes (hopefully) all functional elements described in the PEP,
but documentation is found in a separate PR. This includes:
1. A pure python implementation of the ZoneInfo class
2. A C accelerated implementation of the ZoneInfo class
3. Tests with 100% branch coverage for the Python code (though C code
coverage is less than 100%).
4. A compile-time configuration option on Linux (though not on Windows)
Differences from the reference implementation:
- The module is arranged slightly differently: the accelerated module is
`_zoneinfo` rather than `zoneinfo._czoneinfo`, which also necessitates
some changes in the test support function. (Suggested by Victor
Stinner and Steve Dower.)
- The tests are arranged slightly differently and do not include the
property tests. The tests live at test/test_zoneinfo/test_zoneinfo.py
rather than test/test_zoneinfo.py or test/test_zoneinfo/__init__.py
because we may do some refactoring in the future that would likely
require this separation anyway; we may:
- include the property tests
- automatically run all the tests against both pure Python and C,
rather than manually constructing C and Python test classes (similar
to the way this works with test_datetime.py, which generates C
and Python test cases from datetimetester.py).
- This includes a compile-time configuration option on Linux (though not
on Windows); added with much help from Thomas Wouters.
- Integration into the CPython build system is obviously different from
building a standalone zoneinfo module wheel.
- This includes configuration to install the tzdata package as part of
CI, though only on the coverage jobs. Introducing a PyPI dependency as
part of the CI build was controversial, and this is seen as less of a
major change, since the coverage jobs already depend on pip and PyPI.
Additional changes that were introduced as part of this PR, most / all of
which were backported to the reference implementation:
- Fixed reference and memory leaks
With much debugging help from Pablo Galindo
- Added smoke tests ensuring that the C and Python modules are built
The import machinery can be somewhat fragile, and the "seamlessly falls
back to pure Python" nature of this module makes it so that a problem
building the C extension or a failure to import the pure Python version
might easily go unnoticed.
- Adjustments to zoneinfo.__dir__
Suggested by Petr Viktorin.
- Slight refactorings as suggested by Steve Dower.
- Removed unnecessary if check on std_abbr
Discovered this because of a missing line in branch coverage.
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.
It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

Provides a richer platform tag for AIX that we expect to be sufficient for PEP 425
binary distribution identification. Any backports to earlier Python versions will be
handled via setuptools.
Patch by Michael Felt.
Add test_init_pybuilddir() and test_init_pyvenv_cfg() to test_embed
to test pyvenv.cfg and pybuilddir.txt configuration files.
Fix sysconfig._generate_posix_vars(): pybuilddir.txt uses UTF-8
encoding, not ASCII.
