Matej Cepl 0d138f00f9 - Update to 3.14.0~b4:
- Tools/Demos
    - gh-135968: Stubs for strip are now provided as part of an
      iOS install.
    - gh-133600: Backport file reorganization for               .
      Tools/wasm/wasi This should make backporting future code  .
      changes easier. It also simplifies instructions around how.
      to do WASI builds in the devguide                         .
  - Tests
    - gh-135966: The iOS testbed now handles the app_packages
      folder as a site directory.
    - gh-135494: Fix regrtest to support excluding tests from
      --pgo tests. Patch by Victor Stinner.
  - Security
    - gh-136053: marshal: fix a possible crash when deserializing
      slice objects.
    - gh-135661: Fix parsing start and end tags in
      html.parser.HTMLParser according to the HTML5 standard.
      - Whitespaces no longer accepted between </ and the tag
        name. E.g. </ script> does not end the script section.
      - Vertical tabulation (\v) and non-ASCII whitespaces no
        longer recognized as whitespaces. The only whitespaces
        are \t\n\r\f and space.
      - Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.
      - Attributes and slashes after the tag name in end tags are
        now ignored, instead of terminating after the first > in
        quoted attribute value. E.g. </script/foo=">"/>.
      - Multiple slashes and whitespaces between the last
        attribute and closing > are now ignored in both start and
        end tags. E.g. <a foo=bar/ //>.

Notes for packagers of Python3
==============================
0. Faster build turnaround
--------------------------
By default, python builds with profile-guided optimization. This needs
an additional run of the test suite and it is generally slow.
PGO build takes around 50 minutes.
For development, use "--without profileopt" option to disable PGO. This
shortens the build time to ~5 minutes including test suite.
1. import_failed.map
----------------------
This is a mechanism installed as part of python3-base, that places shim modules
on python's path (through a generated zzzz-import-failed-hooks.pth file, so that
it is imported as much at the end as makes sense; and an _import_failed subdir
of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y). Then when the user tries to import a module that is part
of a subpackage, the ImportError will contain a helpful message telling them
which missing subpackage to install.
This can sometimes cause problems on non-standard configurations, if the pth
gets included too early (for instance if you are using a script to include all
pths by hand in some strange order). Just something to look out for.
