When an exception is created in a nested call to PyObject_GetAttr, any
external calls will override the context information of the
AttributeError that we have already placed in the most internal call.
This will cause the suggestions we create to nor work properly as the
attribute name and object that we will be using are the incorrect ones.
To avoid this, we need to check first if these attributes are already
set and bail out if that's the case.
Also made modes containing 'a' or 'x' act the same as a mode containing 'w' when argument is '-'
(so 'a'/'x' return sys.stdout like 'w', and 'ab'/'xb' return sys.stdout.buffer like 'wb').
For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
Fix a bug in urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and
urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which
allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI "example.org/foobar"
was allowed if the user was authorized for URI "example.org/foo".
<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.

Rename the private undocumented float.__set_format__() method to
float.__setformat__() to fix a typo introduced in Python 3.7. The
method is only used by test_float.
The change enables again test_float tests on the float format which
were previously skipped because of the typo.
The typo was introduced in Python 3.7 by bpo-20185
in commit b5c51d3dd9.
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.
