* Improve description of 'e', 'f' and 'g' presentation types
* Drop the 'E' from Scientific 'E' notation; remove >= 0 qualifications
* Fix false statement that the alternate form is valid for Decimal
* Nitpick: remove the Harvard/Oxford comma
* Add note that the decimal point is also removed if no digits follow it, except in alternate form
Reduce memory footprint and improve performance of loading modules having many func annotations.
>>> sys.getsizeof({"a":"int","b":"int","return":"int"})

>>> sys.getsizeof(("a","int","b","int","return","int"))

The tuple is converted into dict on the fly when `func.__annotations__` is accessed first.

This commit also fixes up some of the overlapping documentation changed
in bpo-35498, which added support for indexing with slices.

Added slice support to the `pathlib.Path.parents` sequence. For a `Path` `p`, slices of `p.parents` should return the same thing as slices of `tuple(p.parents)`.
time.perf_counter() on Windows and time.monotonic() on macOS are now
system-wide. Previously, they used an offset computed at startup to
reduce the precision loss caused by the float type. Use
time.perf_counter_ns() and time.monotonic_ns() added in Python 3.7 to
avoid this precision loss.
Added a note in the `subprocess` docs that recommend using `shlex.quote` without mentioning that this is only applicable to Unix.
Also added a warning straight into the `shlex` docs since it only says "for simple syntaxes resembling that of the Unix shell" and says using `quote` plugs the security hole without mentioning this important caveat.
The format_exception(), format_exception_only(), and
print_exception() functions can now take an exception object as a positional-only argument.

Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
