For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
Fix a bug in urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and
urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which
allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI "example.org/foobar"
was allowed if the user was authorized for URI "example.org/foo".
<stdbool.h> is the standard/modern way to define embedd/extends Python free to define bool, true and false, but there are existing applications that use slightly different redefinitions, which fail if the header is included.
It's OK to use stdbool outside the public headers, though.

Rename the private undocumented float.__set_format__() method to
float.__setformat__() to fix a typo introduced in Python 3.7. The
method is only used by test_float.
The change enables again test_float tests on the float format which
were previously skipped because of the typo.
The typo was introduced in Python 3.7 by bpo-20185
in commit b5c51d3dd9.
Remove the HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro (moved to the internal
C API).
* Move HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro to pycore_pymath.h.
* Replace PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR macro with _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR
macro which is always defined. gcc -Wundef emits a warning when
using _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR but the macro is not defined, if
pycore_pymath.h include was forgotten.
Rename Include/buffer.h header file to Include/pybuffer.h to avoid
conflicts with projects having an existing "buffer.h" header file.
* Incude pybuffer.h before object.h in Python.h.
* Remove #include "buffer.h" from Include/cpython/object.h.
* Add a forward declaration of the PyObject type in pybuffer.h to fix
an inter-dependency issue.
The locale.getdefaultlocale() function is deprecated and will be
removed in Python 3.13. Use locale.setlocale(),
locale.getpreferredencoding(False) and locale.getlocale() functions
instead.
Fix parsing a numeric literal immediately (without spaces) followed by
"not in" keywords, like in "1not in x". Now the parser only emits
a warning, not a syntax error.
Curly brackets were never allowed in namespace URIs
according to RFC 3986, and so-called namespace-validating
XML parsers have the right to reject them a invalid URIs.
libexpat >=2.4.5 has become strcter in that regard due to
related security issues; with ET.XML instantiating a
namespace-aware parser under the hood, this test has no
future in CPython.

It fixes the "Text File Busy" OSError when using 'rmtree' on a
windows-managed filesystem in via the VirtualBox shared folder
(and possible other scenarios like a windows-managed network file
system).
There are several changes:
1. We now don't explicitly check for any base / sub types, because new name check covers it
2. I've also checked that `no_type_check` do not modify foreign functions. It was the same as with `type`s
3. I've also covered `except TypeError` in `no_type_check` with a simple test case, it was not covered at all
4. I also felt like adding `lambda` test is a good idea: because `lambda` is a bit of both in class bodies: a function and an assignment

The libexpat 2.4.1 upgrade from introduced the following new exported symbols:
* `testingAccountingGetCountBytesDirect`
* `testingAccountingGetCountBytesIndirect`
* `unsignedCharToPrintable`
* `XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold`
* `XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification`
We need to adjust [Modules/expat/pyexpatns.h](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/expat/pyexpatns.h)
(The newer libexpat upgrade has no new symbols).

* Add exception for uninstantiated interpolation (configparser)
The current feedback when users try to pass an uninstantiated
interpolation into a ConfigParser is an error message that does not help
users solve the problem. This current error of `TypeError: before_set()
missing 1 required positional argument: 'value'` does not display until
the parser is used, which usually results in the assumption that
instantiation of the parser was done correctly. The new exception of
InterpolationTypeError, will be raised on the line where the
ConfigParser is instantiated. This will result in users see the line
that has the error in their backtrace for faster debugging.
There have been a number of bugs created in the issue tracker, which
could have been addressed by:
https://bugs.python.org/issue26831 and https://bugs.python.org/issue26469
* 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.
* Replace custom Error with TypeError
Per feedback from @iritkatriel, the custom InterpolationTypeError has
been dropped in favour of a TypeError with a custom message, and the
unittests have been expanded.
* More verbose message

The `module` parameter carries semantic information about the forward ref.
Forward refs are different if they refer to different module even if they
have the same name. This affects the `__eq__`, `__repr__` and `__hash__` methods.
