* bpo-28087: Skip test_asyncore and test_eintr poll failures on macOS
Skip some tests of select.poll when running on macOS due to unresolved
issues with the underlying system poll function on some macOS versions.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
allocated.
On PyMem_Realloc failure, _PyCode_SetExtra should free co_extra if
co_extra->ce_extras could not be allocated.
On PyMem_Realloc success, _PyCode_SetExtra should set all unused slots in
co_extra->ce_extras to NULL.
The Windows-specific subprocess.STARTUPINFO class now accepts
keyword-only arguments to its constructor to set the various
data attributes.

* bpo-16285: Update urllib quoting to RFC 3986
urllib.parse.quote is now based on RFC 3986, and hence
includes `'~'` in the set of characters that is not escaped
by default.
Patch by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath.
- Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register
- Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser
The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state
'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only
'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the
front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call.
The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting
and then uses that to make the default browser reported by
`xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or
another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable).
This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder
queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support
the "new window" option.
When you use `'%s' % SubClassOfStr()`, where `SubClassOfStr.__rmod__` exists, the reverse operation is ignored as normally such string formatting operations use the `PyUnicode_Format()` fast path. This patch tests for subclasses of `str` first and picks the slow path in that case.

* bpo-29463: Add docstring field to some AST nodes.
ClassDef, ModuleDef, FunctionDef, and AsyncFunctionDef has docstring
field for now. It was first statement of there body.

* doc fixes
``local.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)`` and
``locale.getpreferredencoding(False)`` may give different answers
in some cases (such as the ``en_IN`` locale).
``re.LOCALE`` uses the latter, so update the test case to match.
