\Z was an error inherited from PCRE 0.95. It was fixed in PCRE 2.0.
In other engines, \Z means not “anchor at string end”, but
“anchor before optional newline at string end”.
\z means “anchor at string end” in most RE engines.
Add a developer-facing document describing the protocol used by
remote_exec(pid, script) to execute Python code in a running process.
This is intended to guide debugger and tool authors in reimplementing
the protocol.

Make `warnings.catch_warnings()` use a context variable for holding
the warning filtering state if the `sys.flags.context_aware_warnings`
flag is set to true. This makes using the context manager thread-safe in
multi-threaded programs.
Add the `sys.flags.thread_inherit_context` flag. If true, starting a new
thread with `threading.Thread` will use a copy of the context
from the caller of `Thread.start()`.
Both these flags are set to true by default for the free-threaded build
and false for the default build.
Move the Python implementation of warnings.py into _py_warnings.py.
Make _contextvars a builtin module.

* Remove getopt and optparse deprecation notices
* Add new docs sections for command line app helper libraries
* Add guidance on choosing a CLI parsing library to the optparse docs
* Link to the new guidance from the argparse and getopt docs
* Reword intro in docs section for superseded stdlib modules
* Reframe the optparse->argparse guide as a migration guide
rather than as an upgrade guide

* Replace uses of `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`. These macros are not
safe to use in the free-threaded build. Use `PyCell_GetRef()` and
`PyCell_SetTakeRef()` instead.
* Since `PyCell_GetRef()` returns a strong rather than borrowed ref, some
code restructuring was required, e.g. `frame_get_var()` returns a strong
ref now.
* Add critical sections to `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`.
* Move critical_section.h earlier in the Python.h file.
* Add `PyCell_GET` to the free-threading howto table of APIs that return
borrowed refs.
* Add additional unit tests for free-threading.
Docs: Remove the logging howto potential promise of multiprocessing support in the future.
Stick to the facts and suggestions, don't provide hope where we're not going to
implement complexity that we'd rather the user implement themselves when
needed.

PyDict_Next no longer locks the dictionary in the free-threaded build. Locking
around individual PyDict_Next calls is not sufficient because the function
returns borrowed references and because it allows concurrent modifications
during the iteraiton loop.
The internal locking also interferes with correct external synchronization
because it may suspend outer critical sections created by the caller.
