Currently, the "global interpreter lock" entry in the glossary mentions
that `-X gil 0` can be used to disable the GIL [1]. However, this is
invalid; the correct usage should be `-X gil=0`.
$ python -X gil 0 -c 'print("Hello, world")'
Fatal Python error: config_read_gil: PYTHON_GIL / -X gil must be "0" or "1"
Python runtime state: preinitialized
$ python -X gil=0 -c 'print("Hello, world")'
Hello, world

In the datastructures tutorial doc, some operations are described as
"equivalent to" others. This has led to some user-confusion -- at
least in the Discourse forums -- about cases in which the operations
differ.
This change doesn't systematically eliminate the word "equivalent"
from the tutorial. It just substitutes "similar to" in several cases
in which "equivalent to" could mislead users into expecting exact
equivalence.
This follows GNU gzip, which defaults to using 0 as the mtime
for compressing stdin, where no file mtime is involved.
This makes the output of gzip.compress() deterministic by default,
greatly helping reproducible builds.

Also improve the documentation. Specify how dest and metavar are derived
from add_argument() positional arguments.

* 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.
* Update `__future__.rst`
Fixed typo in the sentence :pep:`649`: *Deferred evaluation of annotations using descriptors* - James McCarthy
* Update `__future__.rst`
Fixed sphinx formatting

- 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 function now sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the locale
of the category that determines the requested value if the locales are
different and the resulting string is non-ASCII.
This temporary change affects other threads.
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".

This allows direct intersphinx references to APIs via references
