gh-128041: Add terminate_workers and kill_workers methods to ProcessPoolExecutor (GH-130849)
This adds two new methods to `multiprocessing`'s `ProcessPoolExecutor`:
- **`terminate_workers()`**: forcefully terminates worker processes using `Process.terminate()`
- **`kill_workers()`**: forcefully kills worker processes using `Process.kill()`

These methods provide users with a direct way to stop worker processes without `shutdown()` or relying on implementation details, addressing situations where immediate termination is needed.

gh-89083: add support for UUID version 7 (RFC 9562) (#121119)
Add support for generating UUIDv7 objects according to RFC 9562, §5.7 [1].

The functionality is provided by the `uuid.uuid7()` function. The implementation
is based on a 42-bit counter as described by Method 1, §6.2 [2] and guarantees
monotonicity within the same millisecond.

Add support for generating UUIDv6 objects according to RFC 9562, §5.6 [1].

The functionality is provided by the `uuid.uuid6()` function which takes as inputs an optional 48-bit
hardware address and an optional 14-bit clock sequence. The UUIDv6 temporal fields are ordered
differently than those of UUIDv1, thereby providing improved database locality.

GH-116380: Speed up glob.[i]glob() by making fewer system calls. (#116392)
## Filtered recursive walk

Expanding a recursive `**` segment entails walking the entire directory
tree, and so any subsequent pattern segments (except special segments) can
be evaluated by filtering the expanded paths through a regex. For example,
`glob.glob("foo/**/*.py", recursive=True)` recursively walks `foo/` with
`os.scandir()`, and then filters paths through a regex based on "`**/*.py`,
with no further filesystem access needed.

This fixes an issue where `glob()` could return duplicate results.

## Tracking path existence

We store a flag alongside each path indicating whether the path is
guaranteed to exist. As we process the pattern:

- Certain special pattern segments (`""`, `"."` and `".."`) leave the flag
  unchanged
- Literal pattern segments (e.g. `foo/bar`) set the flag to false
- Wildcard pattern segments (e.g. `*/*.py`) set the flag to true (because
  children are found via `os.scandir()`)
- Recursive pattern segments (e.g. `**`) leave the flag unchanged for the
  root path, and set it to true for descendants discovered via
  `os.scandir()`.

If the flag is false at the end, we call `lstat()` on each path to filter
out missing paths.

## Minor speed-ups

- Exclude paths that don't match a non-terminal non-recursive wildcard
  pattern _prior_ to calling `is_dir()`.
- Use a stack rather than recursion to implement recursive wildcards.
  - This fixes a recursion error when globbing deep trees.
- Pre-compile regular expressions and pre-join literal pattern segments.
- Convert to/from `bytes` (a minor use-case) in `iglob()` rather than
  supporting `bytes` throughout. This particularly simplifies the code
  needed to handle relative bytes paths with `dir_fd`.
- Avoid calling `os.path.join()`; instead we keep paths in a normalized
  form and append trailing slashes when needed.
- Avoid calling `os.path.normcase()`; instead we use case-insensitive regex
  matching.

## Implementation notes

Much of this functionality is already present in pathlib's implementation
of globbing. The specific additions we make are:

1. Support for `dir_fd`
2. Support for `include_hidden`
3. Support for generating paths relative to `root_dir`

This unifies the implementations of globbing in the `glob` and `pathlib`
modules.

GH-125413: Add pathlib.Path.info attribute (#127730)
Add `pathlib.Path.info` attribute, which stores an object implementing the `pathlib.types.PathInfo` protocol (also new). The object supports querying the file type and internally caching `os.stat()` results. Path objects generated by `Path.iterdir()` are initialised with status information from `os.DirEntry` objects, which is gleaned from scanning the parent directory.

The `PathInfo` protocol has four methods: `exists()`, `is_dir()`, `is_file()` and `is_symlink()`.

gh-55454: Add IMAP4 IDLE support to imaplib (#122542)
* gh-55454: Add IMAP4 IDLE support to imaplib

This extends imaplib with support for the rfc2177 IMAP IDLE command,
as requested in #55454.  It allows events to be pushed to a client as
they occur, rather than having to continually poll for mailbox changes.

The interface is a new idle() method, which returns an iterable context
manager.  Entering the context starts IDLE mode, during which events
(untagged responses) can be retrieved using the iteration protocol.
Exiting the context sends DONE to the server, ending IDLE mode.

An optional time limit for the IDLE session is supported, for use with
servers that impose an inactivity timeout.

The context manager also offers a burst() method, designed for programs
wishing to process events in batch rather than one at a time.

Notable differences from other implementations:

- It's an extension to imaplib, rather than a replacement.
- It doesn't introduce additional threads.
- It doesn't impose new requirements on the use of imaplib's existing methods.
- It passes the unit tests in CPython's test/test_imaplib.py module
  (and adds new ones).
- It works on Windows, Linux, and other unix-like systems.
- It makes IDLE available on all of imaplib's client variants
  (including IMAP4_stream).
- The interface is pythonic and easy to use.

Caveats:

- Due to a Windows limitation, the special case of IMAP4_stream running
  on Windows lacks a duration/timeout feature. (This is the stdin/stdout
  pipe connection variant; timeouts work fine for socket-based
  connections, even on Windows.) I have documented it where appropriate.

- The file-like imaplib instance attributes are changed from buffered to
  unbuffered mode. This could potentially break any client code that
  uses those objects directly without expecting partial reads/writes.
  However, these attributes are undocumented. As such, I think (and
  PEP 8 confirms) that they are fair game for changes.

This reverts commit f385e441df, because it
triggers CI failures in the docs by referencing a class that is
(deliberately) undocumented.

* docs: imaplib: use the reST :class: role, escaped

This is a different approach to f385e441df, which was reverted for
creating dangling link references.

By prefixing the reStructuredText role target with a ! we disable
conversion to a link, thereby passing continuous integration checks
even though the referenced class is deliberately absent from the
documentation.

Co-authored-by: Martin Panter <vadmium@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs: imaplib: concise & valid method links

The burst() method is a little tricky to link in restructuredText, due
to quirks of its parent class.  This syntax allows sphinx to generate
working links without generating warnings (which break continuous
integration) and without burdening the reader with unimportant namespace
qualifications.  It makes the reST source ugly, but few people read
the reST source, so it's a tolerable tradeoff.

* imaplib: sync doc strings with reST docs

* docs: imaplib: minor Idler clarifications

* imaplib: idle: emit (type, [data, ...]) tuples

This allows our iterator to emit untagged responses that contain literal
strings in the same way that imaplib's existing methods do, while still
emitting exactly one whole response per iteration.

* imaplib: while/yield instead of yield from iter()

* imaplib: idle: use deadline idiom when iterating

This simplifies the code, and avoids idle duration drift from time spent
processing each iteration.

IDLE timeouts were originally implemented using select() after
checking for the presence of already-buffered data.
That allowed timeouts on pipe connetions like IMAP4_stream.
However, it seemed possible that SSL data arriving without any
IMAP data afterward could cause select() to indicate available
application data when there was none, leading to a read() call
that would block with no timeout. It was unclear under what
conditions this would happen in practice. This change switches
to socket timeouts instead of select(), just to be safe.

This also reverts IMAP4_stream changes that were made to support IDLE
timeouts, since our new implementation only supports socket connections.

* imaplib: Idler: rename private state attributes

* imaplib: rephrase a comment in example code

* docs: imaplib: idle: use Sphinx code-block:: pycon

* docs: whatsnew: imaplib: reformat IMAP4.idle entry

* imaplib: idle: make doc strings brief

Since we generally rely on the reST/html documentation for details, we
can keep these doc strings short. This matches the module's existing doc
string style and avoids having to sync small changes between two files.

* imaplib: Idler: split assert into two statements

* imaplib: Idler: move assignment out of try: block

* imaplib: Idler: move __exit__() for readability

* imaplib: Idler: move __next__() for readability

* imaplib: test: make IdleCmdHandler a global class

* docs: imaplib: idle: collapse double-spaces

* imaplib: warn on use of undocumented 'file' attr

* imaplib: revert import reformatting

Since we no longer import platform or selectors, the original import
statement style can be restored, reducing the footprint of PR #122542.

* imaplib: restore original exception msg formatting

This reduces the footprint of PR #122542.

* docs: imaplib: idle: versionadded:: next

* imaplib: move import statement to where it's used

This import is only needed if external code tries to use an attribute
that it shouldn't be using. Making it a local import reduces module
loading time in supported cases.

* imaplib test: RuntimeWarning on IMAP4.file access

* imaplib: use stacklevel=2 in warnings.warn()

* imaplib test: simplify IMAP4.file warning test

* imaplib test: pre-idle-continuation response

* imaplib test: post-done untagged response

* imaplib: downgrade idle-denied exception to error

This makes it easier for client code to distinguish a temporary
rejection of the IDLE command from a server responding incorrectly to
IDLE.

* imaplib: simplify check for socket object

* imaplib: narrow the scope of IDLE socket timeouts

If an IDLE duration or burst() was in use, and an unsolicited response
contained a literal string, and crossed a packet boundary, and the
subsequent packet was delayed beyond the IDLE feature's time limit, the
timeout would leave the incoming protocol stream in a bad state (with
the tail of that response appearing where the start of a response is
expected).

This change moves the IDLE socket timeout to cover only the start
of a response, so it can no longer cause that problem.

* imaplib: preserve partial reads on exception

This ensures that short IDLE durations / burst() intervals
won't risk corrupting response lines that span multiple packets.

* imaplib: read/readline: save multipart buffer tail

For resilience if read() or readline() ever complete with more than one
bytes object remaining in the buffer. This is not expected to happen,
but it seems wise to be prepared for a future change making it possible.

* imaplib: use TimeoutError subclass only if needed

* doc: imaplib: elaborate on IDLE response delivery

* doc: imaplib: elaborate in note re: IMAP4.response

* imaplib: comment on benefit of reading in chunks

Our read() implementation designed to support IDLE replaces the one from
PR #119514, fixing the same problem it was addressing. The tests that it
added are preserved.

* imaplib: readline(): treat ConnectionError as EOF
