Matej Cepl 64818e1d6b - Update to 3.9.23:
- Security
    - gh-135034: Fixes multiple issues that allowed tarfile
      extraction filters (filter="data" and filter="tar") to be
      bypassed using crafted symlinks and hard links.
    - Addresses CVE-2024-12718 (bsc#1244056), CVE-2025-4138
      (bsc#1244059), CVE-2025-4330 (bsc#1244060), and
      CVE-2025-4517 (bsc#1244032).
    - gh-133767: Fix use-after-free in the “unicode-escape”
      decoder with a non-“strict” error handler (CVE-2025-4516,
      bsc#1243273).
    - gh-128840: Short-circuit the processing of long IPv6
      addresses early in ipaddress to prevent excessive memory
      consumption and a minor denial-of-service.
    - gh-80222: Fix bug in the folding of quoted strings
      when flattening an email message using a modern email
      policy. Previously when a quoted string was folded so
      that it spanned more than one line, the surrounding
      quotes and internal escapes would be omitted. This could
      theoretically be used to spoof header lines using a
      carefully constructed quoted string if the resulting
      rendered email was transmitted or re-parsed.
  - Library
    - gh-128840: Fix parsing long IPv6 addresses with embedded
      IPv4 address.
    - gh-134062: ipaddress: fix collisions in __hash__() for
      IPv4Network and IPv6Network objects.
    - gh-123409: Fix ipaddress.IPv6Address.reverse_pointer output
      according to RFC 3596, §2.5. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
    - bpo-43633: Improve the textual representation of

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.
