* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

Quoting autoconf (v2.71):
All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
you to include it and time.h simultaneously.
Added os.setns and os.unshare to easily switch between namespaces
on Linux.

⚠️⚠️ Note for reviewers, hackers and fellow systems/low-level/compiler engineers ⚠️⚠️
If you have a lot of experience with this kind of shenanigans and want to improve the **first** version, **please make a PR against my branch** or **reach out by email** or **suggest code changes directly on GitHub**.
If you have any **refinements or optimizations** please, wait until the first version is merged before starting hacking or proposing those so we can keep this PR productive.
- check for ``dup()`` libc function
- handle missing ``F_DUPFD`` in ``dup2()`` replacement function
- add workaround for WASI libc bug in MSG_TRUNC
- ESHUTDOWN is missing, use EPIPE instead
- POLLPRI is missing, define as 0 (no-op)
This was added for bpo-40514 (gh-84694) to test out a per-interpreter GIL. However, it has since proven unnecessary to keep the experiment in the repo. (It can be done as a branch in a fork like normal.) So here we are removing:
* the configure option
* the macro
* the code enabled by the macro
Python now always use the ``%zu`` and ``%zd`` printf formats to
format a size_t or Py_ssize_t number. Building Python 3.12 requires a
C11 compiler, so these printf formats are now always supported.
* PyObject_Print() and _PyObject_Dump() now use the printf %zd format
to display an object reference count.
* Update PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T comment.
* Remove outdated notes about the %zd format in PyBytes_FromFormat()
and PyUnicode_FromFormat() documentations.
* configure no longer checks for the %zd format and no longer defines
PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T macro in pyconfig.h.
* pymacconfig.h no longer undefines PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T: macOS 10.4 is
no longer supported. Python 3.12 now requires macOS 10.6 (Snow
Leopard) or newer.
- Remove ``--with-tclk-*`` options from `configure`
- Use pkg-config to detect `_tkinter` dependencies (Tcl/Tk, X11)
- Manual override via environment variables `TCLTK_CFLAGS` and `TCLTK_LIBS`
In Linux kernel 5.14 one can dynamically request size of altstacksize
based on hardware capabilities with getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ).
This changes allows for Python extension's request to Linux kernel
to use AMX_TILE instruction set on Sapphire Rapids Xeon processor
to succeed, unblocking use of the ISA in frameworks.
Introduced HAVE_LINUX_AUXVEC_H in configure.ac and pyconfig.h.in
Used cpython_autoconf:269 docker container to generate configure.
