…nt directory. (GH-17946)

When a prompt value of '.' is specified, os.path.basename(os.getcwd()) is used to
configure the prompt for the created venv.

When using python's built-in venv activaton script
warnings are printed when hashing is disabled in
bash or zsh, like;

`bash: hash: hashing disabled`

This output is not really useful to the end-user and has
been disabled in `virtualenv` for long.

The default value of "ident" parameter should be sys.argv[0] with leading path
components stripped, but it contained the last slash, i.e. '/program' instead
of 'program'.

Break up COMPARE_OP into four logically distinct opcodes:
* COMPARE_OP for rich comparisons

* JUMP_IF_NOT_EXC_MATCH for checking exceptions in 'try-except' statements.

This isn't included in `__all__` and could be a source of confusion.

_Py_FinishPendingCalls() now expects a tstate argument, instead of a
runtime argument.

This adds a new function named _PyErr_GetExcInfo() that is a variation of the
original PyErr_GetExcInfo() taking a PyThreadState as its first argument.
That function allows to retrieve the exceptions information of any Python
thread -- not only the current one.

* Add tests for case insensitive check of types and extensions as fallback.

* Add tests for read_mime_types.
* Add tests for the mimetypes cli and refactor __main__ code to private function.

The sys.argv[0] change has been reverted.

Add math.ulp(): return the value of the least significant bit
of a float.

Add support for brotli encoding in the encoding_map.

Copying property objects results in a TypeError. Steps to reproduce:

```
>>> import copy
>>> obj = property()
>>> copy.copy(obj)
````

This affects both shallow and deep copying.  
My idea for a fix is to add property objects to the list of "atomic" objects in the copy module.
These already include types like functions and type objects.

I also added property objects to the unit tests test_copy_atomic and test_deepcopy_atomic. This is my first PR, and it's highly likely I've made some mistake, so please be kind :)

Motivation for this PR (comment from @vstinner in bpo issue):
```
Warning seen o AMD64 Ubuntu Shared 3.x buildbot:
https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/141/builds/2593

test_devnull_output (test.test_a=syncio.test_subprocess.SubprocessThreadedWatcherTests) ...

```
The following implementation details for the new method are TBD:

1) Public vs private

2) Inclusion in `close()`

3) Name

4) Coroutine vs subroutine method

5) *timeout* parameter

If it's a private method, 3, 4, and 5 are significantly less important.

I started with the most minimal implementation that fixes the dangling threads without modifying the regression tests, which I think is particularly important. I typically try to avoid directly modifying existing tests as much as possible unless it's necessary to do so. However, I am open to changing any part of this.

Although the underlying libffi issue remains open, adding these
checks have caused problems in third-party projects which are in
widespread use. See the issue for examples.

The corresponding tests have also been skipped.

Return the next floating-point value after x towards y.

nntplib.NNTP and nntplib.NNTP_SSL now raise a ValueError
if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to
prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket.
