Neil Schemenauer d687900f98 gh-128384: Use a context variable for warnings.catch_warnings (gh-130010)
Make `warnings.catch_warnings()` use a context variable for holding
the warning filtering state if the `sys.flags.context_aware_warnings`
flag is set to true.  This makes using the context manager thread-safe in
multi-threaded programs.

Add the `sys.flags.thread_inherit_context` flag.  If true, starting a new
thread with `threading.Thread` will use a copy of the context
from the caller of `Thread.start()`.

Both these flags are set to true by default for the free-threaded build
and false for the default build.

Move the Python implementation of warnings.py into _py_warnings.py.

Make _contextvars a builtin module.

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
