bpo-32523: Simplifying news entries with multiple paragraphs. (GH-8154)
Having multiple paragraphs in a few news entry lead to inconsistent
spacing while rendered in HTML by mixing "visually compact lists"
(when no entry of the whole list contains multiple paragraphs) and
"sparse lists" (when at least one do).

Remove the tri-state parameter "hash", and add the boolean "unsafe_hash". If
unsafe_hash is True, add a __hash__ function, but if a __hash__ exists,
raise TypeError. If unsafe_hash is False, add a __hash__ based on the
values of eq= and frozen=. The unsafe_hash=False behavior is the same as
the old hash=None behavior. unsafe_hash=False is the default, just as
hash=None used to be.

.. section: Library
``_abc`` module is added. It is a speedup module with C implementations for
various functions and methods in ``abc``. Creating an ABC subclass and
calling ``isinstance`` or ``issubclass`` with an ABC subclass are up to 1.5x
faster. In addition, this makes Python start-up up to 10% faster.
Note that the new implementation hides internal registry and caches,
previously accessible via private attributes ``_abc_registry``,
``_abc_cache``, and ``_abc_negative_cache``. There are three debugging
helper methods that can be used instead ``_dump_registry``,
``_abc_registry_clear``, and ``_abc_caches_clear``.
