In Linux kernel 5.14 one can dynamically request size of altstacksize
based on hardware capabilities with getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ).
This changes allows for Python extension's request to Linux kernel
to use AMX_TILE instruction set on Sapphire Rapids Xeon processor
to succeed, unblocking use of the ISA in frameworks.
Introduced HAVE_LINUX_AUXVEC_H in configure.ac and pyconfig.h.in
Used cpython_autoconf:269 docker container to generate configure.
Also from the _asyncio C accelerator module,
and adjust one test that the change caused to fail.

(Basically, @asvetlov proposed to return False from cancel()
when there is already a pending cancellation, and I went along,
even though it wasn't necessary for the task group implementation,
and @agronholm has come up with a counterexample that fails
because of this change. So now I'm changing it back to the old
semantics (but still bumping the counter) until we can have a
proper discussion about this.)
<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.

This changes cancelling() and uncancel() to return the count of pending cancellations.
This can be used to avoid bugs in certain edge cases (e.g. two timeouts going off at the same time).
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.
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).

asyncio/taskgroups.py is an adaptation of taskgroup.py from EdgeDb, with the following key changes:
- Allow creating new tasks as long as the last task hasn't finished
- Raise [Base]ExceptionGroup (directly) rather than TaskGroupError deriving from MultiError
- Instead of monkey-patching the parent task's cancel() method,
add a new public API to Task
The Task class has a new internal flag, `_cancel_requested`, which is set when `.cancel()` is called successfully. The `.cancelling()` method returns the value of this flag. Further `.cancel()` calls while this flag is set return False. To reset this flag, call `.uncancel()`.
Thus, a Task that catches and ignores `CancelledError` should call `.uncancel()` if it wants to be cancellable again; until it does so, it is deemed to be busy with uninterruptible cleanup.
This new Task API helps solve the problem where TaskGroup needs to distinguish between whether the parent task being cancelled "from the outside" vs. "from inside".
