Summary of changes:
1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.
As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
no longer applied to coroutines.
2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the
interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.
[The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]
3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to
allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.
Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:
(o)
GET_ITER
LOAD_CONST
YIELD_FROM
Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.
The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
a coroutine object is invalid.
4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).
5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
should really be tailored for checking for native types.
6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports
any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
not work for all types of coroutines.
7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
to raise clearer messages for coroutines:
Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
Previous approach of installing coroutine wrapper in loop.set_debug() and
uninstalling it in loop.close() was very fragile. Most of asyncio tests
do not call loop.close() at all. Since coroutine wrapper is a global
setting, we have to make sure that it's only set when the loop is
running, and is automatically unset when it stops running.
Issue #24017.

again if the first call to connect() raises an InterruptedError.
When the C function connect() fails with EINTR, the connection runs in
background. We have to wait until the socket becomes writable to be notified
when the connection succeed or fails.
Merge JoinableQueue with Queue. To more closely match the standard Queue,
asyncio.Queue has "join" and "task_done". JoinableQueue is deleted.
Docstring for Queue.join shouldn't mention threads.
Restore JoinableQueue as a deprecated alias for Queue. To more closely match
the standard Queue, asyncio.Queue has "join" and "task_done". JoinableQueue
remains as a deprecated alias for Queue to avoid needlessly breaking too much
code that depended on it.

* _check_resolved_address() is implemented with getaddrinfo() which is slow
* If available, use socket.inet_pton() instead of socket.getaddrinfo(), because
it is much faster
Microbenchmark (timeit) on Fedora 21 (Python 3.4, Linux 3.17, glibc 2.20) to
validate the IPV4 address "127.0.0.1" or the IPv6 address "::1":
* getaddrinfo() 10.4 usec per loop
* inet_pton(): 0.285 usec per loop
On glibc older than 2.14, getaddrinfo() always requests the list of all local
IP addresses to the kernel (using a NETLINK socket). getaddrinfo() has other
known issues, it's better to avoid it when it is possible.
transport was closed. The check broken a Tulip example and this limitation is
arbitrary. Check if _proc is None should be enough.
Enhance also close(): do nothing when called the second time.
