The Windows-specific subprocess.STARTUPINFO class now accepts
keyword-only arguments to its constructor to set the various
data attributes.

* bpo-16285: Update urllib quoting to RFC 3986
urllib.parse.quote is now based on RFC 3986, and hence
includes `'~'` in the set of characters that is not escaped
by default.
Patch by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath.
When checking for the default X web browser, xdg-settings
may emit messages on stderr if some components (such as
kreadconfig5) are unavailable. These messages aren't of
interest to Python, so we just ignore them.
- Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register
- Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser
The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state
'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only
'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the
front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call.
The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting
and then uses that to make the default browser reported by
`xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or
another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable).
This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder
queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support
the "new window" option.
bpo-29463 added optional "docstring" field to 4 AST types.
While it is optional, it breaks backward compatibility because AST constructor
requires number of positional argument is same to number of fields.
AST types accepts empty arguments, and incomplete keyword arguments.
But it's not big problem because field can be filled after creation, and checked when compiling.
So stop requiring complete set of fields for positional arguments too.
When you use `'%s' % SubClassOfStr()`, where `SubClassOfStr.__rmod__` exists, the reverse operation is ignored as normally such string formatting operations use the `PyUnicode_Format()` fast path. This patch tests for subclasses of `str` first and picks the slow path in that case.

* bpo-29463: Add docstring field to some AST nodes.
ClassDef, ModuleDef, FunctionDef, and AsyncFunctionDef has docstring
field for now. It was first statement of there body.
* fix document. thanks travis!
* doc fixes
sock_addr_t is used to define the minimum size of any socket address on
the stack. Let's make sure that an AF_ALG address always fits. Coverity
complains because in theory, AF_ALG might be larger than any of the other
structs. In practice it already fits.

This commit undeprecates these functions and adds a note to ignore
previous deprecation notices.
As of Python 3.6 **kwargs are ordered, thus, remove the paragraph stating that
ordering is undefined and change snippet to remove the unecessary sorted call.
* Add sentence mentioning guaranteed output order of kwargs
* Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.
Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).
* Reverted unintended whitespace changes.
``local.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)`` and
``locale.getpreferredencoding(False)`` may give different answers
in some cases (such as the ``en_IN`` locale).
``re.LOCALE`` uses the latter, so update the test case to match.
* bpo-29026: Clarity documentation of time.time
Clarify the documentation of time.time by more
precisely defining what is meant by "seconds since
the epoch" on most platforms. Additionally explain
how gmtime and localtime may be used to extract
calendar components and convert to a more common
date format.
