Split abstract.c and float.c tests of _testcapi into two parts:
limited C API tests in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests
in _testcapi.
Update test_bytes and test_class.
Cover all the Mapping Protocol, almost all the Sequence Protocol
(except PySequence_Fast) and a part of the Object Protocol.
Move existing tests to Lib/test/test_capi/test_abstract.py and
Modules/_testcapi/abstract.c.
Add also tests for PyDict C API.
Copying and pickling instances of subclasses of builtin types
bytearray, set, frozenset, collections.OrderedDict, collections.deque,
weakref.WeakSet, and datetime.tzinfo now copies and pickles instance attributes
implemented as slots.
Before, using the * operator to repeat a bytearray would copy data from the start of
the internal buffer (ob_bytes) and not from the start of the actual data (ob_start).

* Add support for macOS 11 and Apple Silicon (aka arm64)
As a side effect of this work use the system copy of libffi on macOS, and remove the vendored copy
* Support building on recent versions of macOS while deploying to older versions
This allows building installers on macOS 11 while still supporting macOS 10.9.
Improve multi-threaded performance by dropping the GIL in the fast path
of bytes.join. To avoid increasing overhead for small joins, it is only
done if the output size exceeds a threshold.
In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments
are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples:
open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().
By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only
checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding
argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.
* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.
Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.
The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation. This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

- Issue #25958: Support "anti-registration" of special methods from
various ABCs, like __hash__, __iter__ or __len__. All these (and
several more) can be set to None in an implementation class and the
behavior will be as if the method is not defined at all.
(Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
mutable classes unhashable.) Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and
Ivan Levkivskyi.
