09a7c72cad Merge from 3.1: Issue #13703: add a way to randomize the hash values of basic types (str, bytes, datetime)
in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated.

The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.

58f23ffb21 Issue #13930: Adds ability for 2to3 to write its output to a different
directory tree instead of overwriting the input files.  Adds three command
line options: -o/--output-dir, -W/--write-unchanged-files and --add-suffix.

Feature backports into stable release branches for 2to3 are allowed by
a special exemption:

10dda6e029 Add a hint that CSD == Service Pack.
People searcing for the way to get a "service pack" will never find that we
provide it here, and people that find this function won't know what CSD is
until they run the function. On top of this, they won't know what the value
means unless they really have a service pack installed.

CSD, or Customer Service Diagnostics, is apparently no longer used, and was
rarely used term at that. Most references to it online are from
universities making Windows 2000 and XP service packs available to students.

5311c1d7ab Issue #13772: In os.symlink() under Windows, do not try to guess the link
target's type (file or directory).  The detection was buggy and made the
call non-atomic (therefore prone to race conditions).
