Remove SafeChildWatcher, FastChildWatcher and MultiLoopChildWatcher from asyncio. These child watchers have been deprecated since Python 3.12. The tests are also removed and some more tests will be added after the rewrite of child watchers.
The public PyUnicodeWriter API enables overallocation by default and
so is more efficient.
Benchmark:
python -m pyperf timeit \
-s 't = int | float | complex | str | bytes | bytearray' \
' | memoryview | list | dict' \
'str(t)'
Result:
1.29 us +- 0.02 us -> 1.00 us +- 0.02 us: 1.29x faster

If the child process takes longer than SHORT_TIMEOUT seconds to
complete, kill the process but then wait until it completes with no
timeout to not leak child processes.
Add support for not following symlinks in `pathlib.Path.copy()`.
On Windows we add the `COPY_FILE_COPY_SYMLINK` flag is following symlinks is disabled. If the source is symlink to a directory, this call will fail with `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`. In this case we add `COPY_FILE_DIRECTORY` to the flags and retry. This can fail on old Windowses, which we note in the docs.
No news as `copy()` was only just added.
In preparation for the addition of `PathBase.rmtree()`, implement
`DummyPath.unlink()` and `rmdir()`, and move corresponding tests into
`test_pathlib_abc` so they're run against `DummyPath`.
Preparatory work for moving `_rmtree_unsafe()` and `_rmtree_safe_fd()` to
`pathlib._os` so that they can be used from both `shutil` and `pathlib`.
Move implementation-specific setup from `rmtree()` into the safe/unsafe
functions, and give them the same signature `(path, dir_fd, onexc)`.
In the tests, mock `os.open` rather than `_rmtree_safe_fd()` to ensure the
FD-based walk is used, and replace a couple references to
`shutil._use_fd_functions` with `shutil.rmtree.avoids_symlink_attacks`
(which has the same value).
No change of behaviour.
This exposes `PyUnstable_Object_ClearWeakRefsNoCallbacks` as an unstable
C-API function to provide a thread-safe mechanism for clearing weakrefs
without executing callbacks.
Some C-API extensions need to clear weakrefs without calling callbacks,
such as after running finalizers like we do in subtype_dealloc.
Previously they could use `_PyWeakref_ClearRef` on each weakref, but
that's not thread-safe in the free-threaded build.
