gh-127833: Docs: Add a grammar-snippet directive & replace productionlist (GH-127835)
As a first step toward aligning the grammar documentation with Python's actual
grammar, this overrides the ReST `productionlist` directive to:
- use `:` instead of the `::=` symbol
- add syntax highlighting for strings (using a Pygments highlighting class)

All links and link targets should be preserved. (Unfortunately, this reaches
into some Sphinx internals; I don't see a better way to do exactly what
Sphinx does.)

This also adds a new directive, `grammar-snippet`, which formats the snippet
almost exactly like what's in the source, modulo syntax highlighting and
keeping the backtick character to mark links to other rules.
This will allow formatting the snippets as in the grammar file
(file:///home/encukou/dev/cpython/Doc/build/html/reference/grammar.html).

The new directive is applied to two simple rules in toplevel_components.rst

gh-115911: Ignore PermissionError during import from cwd (#116131)
Ignore PermissionError when checking cwd during import

On macOS `getcwd(3)` can return EACCES if a path component isn't readable,
resulting in PermissionError. `PathFinder.find_spec()` now catches these and
ignores them - the same treatment as a missing/deleted cwd.

Introduces `test.support.os_helper.save_mode(path, ...)`, a context manager
that restores the mode of a path on exit.

This is allows finer control of exception handling and robust environment
restoration across platforms in `FinderTests.test_permission_error_cwd()`.

gh-69639: Add mixed-mode rules for complex arithmetic (C-like) (GH-124829)
"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should
be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign
of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure
imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for
complex elementary functions.

This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and
complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular,
there is no special version for the true division with real lhs
operand).  Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these
special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be
deprecated in C2y).

gh-70870: Clarify dual usage of 'free variable' (#122545)
The term "free variable" has unfortunately become genuinely
ambiguous over the years (presumably due to the names of
some relevant code object instance attributes).

While we can't eliminate that ambiguity at this late date, we can
at least alert people to the potential ambiguity by describing
both the formal meaning of the term and the common
alternative use as a direct synonym for "closure variable".

gh-123339: Fix cases of inconsistency of __module__ and __firstlineno__ in classes (GH-123613)
* Setting the __module__ attribute for a class now removes the
  __firstlineno__ item from the type's dict.
* The _collections_abc and _pydecimal modules now completely replace the
  collections.abc and decimal modules after importing them. This
  allows to get the source of classes and functions defined in these
  modules.
* inspect.findsource() now checks whether the first line number for a
  class is out of bound.

gh-115528: Update language reference for PEP 646 (#121181)
To recap: the objective is to make starred expressions valid in `subscription`,
which is used for generics: `Generic[...]`, `list[...]`, etc.

What _is_ gramatically valid in such contexts? Seemingly any of the following.
(At least, none of the following throw `SyntaxError` in a 3.12.3 REPL.)

    Generic[x]
    Generic[*x]
    Generic[*x, y]
    Generic[y, *x]
    Generic[x := 1]
    Generic[x := 1, y := 2]

So introducting

    flexible_expression: expression | assignment_expression | starred_item

end then switching `subscription` to use `flexible_expression` sorts that.

But then we need to field `yield` - for which any of the following are
apparently valid:

    yield x
    yield x,
    yield x, y
    yield *x,
    yield *x, *y

Introducing a separate `yield_list` is the simplest way I've been figure out to
do this - separating out the special case of `starred_item ,`.
