Previously, if you hit ctl-c while the pager was active, the python that
launched the subprocess for the pager would see the KeyboardInterrupt in the
__exit__ method of the subprocess context manager where it was waiting for the
subprocess to complete, ending the wait. This would leave the pager running,
while the interactive interpreter, after handling the exception by printing
it, would go back to trying to post a prompt...but the pager would generally
have the terminal in raw mode, and in any case would be still trying to read
from stdin. On some systems, even exiting python at that point would not
restore the terminal mode. The problem with raw mode could also happen if
ctl-C was hit when pydoc was called from the shell command line and the pager
was active.
Instead, we now wait on the subprocess in a loop, ignoring KeyboardInterrupt
just like the pager does, until the pager actually exits.
(Note: this was a regression relative to python2...in python2 the pager
is called via system, and system does not return until the pager exits.)
Flushing sys.stdout and sys.stderr in Py_FatalError() can call again
Py_FatalError(). Add a reentrant flag to detect this case and just abort at the
second call.
It should help to see exceptions when stderr if buffered: PyErr_Display() calls
sys.stderr.write(), it doesn't write into stderr file descriptor directly.
* Display the current Python stack if an exception was raised but the exception
has no traceback
* Disable faulthandler if an exception was raised (before it was only disabled
if no exception was raised)
* To display the current Python stack, call PyGILState_GetThisThreadState()
which works even if the GIL was released
Issue #23654: Turn off ICC's tail call optimization for the stack_overflow
generator. ICC turns the recursive tail call into a loop.

Some http servers will reject PUT, POST, and PATCH requests if they
do not have a Content-Length header.
Patch by James Rutherford, with additional cleaning up of the
'request' documentation by me.
GzipFile, BZ2File or LZMAFile. This defeats denial of service attacks
using compressed bombs (i.e. compressed payloads which decompress to a huge
size).
