A PyThreadState can be in one of many states in its lifecycle, represented by some status value. Those statuses haven't been particularly clear, so we're addressing that here. Specifically:
* made the distinct lifecycle statuses clear on PyThreadState
* identified expectations of how various lifecycle-related functions relate to status
* noted the various places where those expectations don't match the actual behavior
At some point we'll need to address the mismatches.
(This change also includes some cleanup.)

`warnings.warn()` gains the ability to skip stack frames based on code
filename prefix rather than only a numeric `stacklevel=` via a new
`skip_file_prefixes=` keyword argument.
To use this, ensure that clang support was selected in Visual Studio Installer, then set the PlatformToolset environment variable to "ClangCL" and build as normal from the command line.
It remains unsupported, but at least is possible now for experimentation.
Fixes a reference counting issue with `ctypes.Structure` when a `from_param()` method call is used and the structure size is larger than a C pointer `sizeof(void*)`.
This problem existed for a very long time, but became more apparent in 3.8+ by change likely due to garbage collection cleanup timing changes.
Python 2.x and up to 3.4 did not contain the "-32" in their registry name, so the 32 and 64-bit installs were treated equal. Since 3.5/PEP 514 this is no longer true, but we still want to detect the EOL versions correctly in case people are still using them.
Additionally, the code to replace a node with one with a lower sort key was buggy (wrong node chosen, replace never happened since parent was always NULL, replaced node never freed, etc)
We don't need direct C APIs to get at a bigint representation of PyLong but we
do want the few people who need to understand how.

When getaddrinfo returns an error, the output pointer is in an unknown state
Don't call freeaddrinfo on it. See the issue for discussion and details with
links to reasoning. _Most_ libc getaddrinfo implementations never modify the
output pointer unless they are returning success.

We've factored out a struct from the two PyThreadState fields. This accomplishes two things:
* make it clear that the trashcan-related code doesn't need any other parts of PyThreadState
* allows us to use the trashcan mechanism even when there isn't a "current" thread state
We still expect the caller to hold the GIL.
