nedbat took issue with the phrasing "real module". I'm actually fine
with that phrasing, but I do think the `__future__` page should be clear
about the way in which the `__future__` module is special. (Yes, there
was a footnote linking to the future statements part of the reference,
but there should be upfront discussion).
I'm sympathetic to nedbat's claim that no one really cares about
`__future__._Feature`, so I've moved the interesting table up to the
top.
My criterion for delayed imports is that they're only worth it if the
majority of users of the module would benefit from it, otherwise you're
just moving latency around unpredictably.
mktime_tz is not used anywhere in the standard library and grep.app
indicates it's not got much use in the ecosystem either.
Distribution.files is not nearly as widely used as other
importlib.metadata APIs, so we defer the csv import.
Before:
```
λ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.metadata"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.metadata"
Time (mean ± σ): 65.1 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 55.3 ms, System: 9.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 64.4 ms … 66.4 ms 44 runs
```
After:
```
λ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.metadata"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.metadata"
Time (mean ± σ): 62.0 ms ± 0.3 ms [User: 52.5 ms, System: 9.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 61.3 ms … 62.8 ms 46 runs
```
for about a 3ms saving with warm disk cache, maybe 7-11ms with cold disk
cache.
Add an option (--enable-experimental-jit for configure-based builds
or --experimental-jit for PCbuild-based ones) to build an
*experimental* just-in-time compiler, based on copy-and-patch
(https://fredrikbk.com/publications/copy-and-patch.pdf).
See Tools/jit/README.md for more information, including how to install the required build-time tooling. Merry JIT-mas! ;)

Remove `self.joinpath('')` call that should have been removed in 6313cdde.
This makes `PathBase.glob('')` yield itself *without* adding a trailing slash. It's hard to say whether this is more or less correct, but at least everything else is faster, and there's no behaviour change in the public classes where empty glob patterns are disallowed.
For interpreters that share state with the main interpreter, this points
to the same static memory structure. For interpreters with their own
obmalloc state, it is heap allocated. Add free_obmalloc_arenas() which
will free the obmalloc arenas and radix tree structures for interpreters
with their own obmalloc state.

Add `@needs_symlinks` decorator for tests that require symlink support in
the path class.
Also add `@needs_windows` and `@needs_posix` decorators for tests that
require a specific a specific path flavour. These aren't much used yet, but
will be later.
``platform.architecture()`` now returns the format of binaries (e.g. Mach-O) instead of the default empty string.

Add `ntpath.isreserved()`, which identifies reserved pathnames such as "NUL", "AUX" and "CON".
Deprecate `pathlib.PurePath.is_reserved()`.

- consistently use correct parameter markup
- consistently use submodule name as database name
- improve accuracy of the dbm.dumb.open() spec
- remove dumbdbm class refs and replace them with generic "database object"
- use parameter list for dbm.dumb.open()
