The C-API docs are a bit sparse on the interplay between C `fork()` and the CPython runtime. This change adds some more information on the subject.

Ensure isabs() is always True for \\?\ prefixed paths
Avoid unnecessary usage of readlink() to avoid resolving broken links incorrectly
Ensure shutil tests run in test directory
Small docs update for [bpo-34651](https://bugs.python.org/issue34651).
Other references to fork (e.g. the PyOS.*Fork functions or discussions of fork() when embedding Python) point back to os.fork, so I don't think any other updates are needed.

Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

After #9665, this moves the remaining types in posixmodule to be heap-allocated to make it compatible with PEP384 as well as modifying all the type accessors to fully make the type opaque.
The original PR that got messed up a rebase: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10854. All the issues in that commit have now been addressed since https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11661 got committed.
This change also removes any state from the data segment and onto the module state itself.

Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as
regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined
as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which
cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field.
Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.
Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.
Whenever I use `path.suffix` I have to check again whether it includes the dot or not. I decided to add it to the docstring so I won't have to keep checking.

open(), io.open(), codecs.open() and fileinput.FileInput no longer
accept "U" ("universal newline") in the file mode. This flag was
deprecated since Python 3.3.
This adds a "readlink" method to pathlib.Path objects that calls through
to os.readlink.

Fix stdatomic.h header check for ICC compiler: the ICC implementation
lacks atomic_uintptr_t type which is needed by Python.
Test:
* atomic_int and atomic_uintptr_t types
* atomic_load_explicit() and atomic_store_explicit()
* memory_order_relaxed and memory_order_seq_cst constants
But don't test ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(): it's not used in Python.
