Add auditing events to the :mod:`marshal` module, and stop raising

The deallocator function of the :exc:`BaseException` type now uses the
trashcan mechanism to prevent stack overflow. For example, when a
:exc:`RecursionError` instance is raised, it can be linked to another
RecursionError through the ``__context__`` attribute or the
``__traceback__`` attribute, and then a chain of exceptions is created. When
the chain is destroyed, nested deallocator function calls can crash with a
stack overflow if the chain is too long compared to the available stack
memory. Patch by Victor Stinner.

When the interpreter renders an exception, its name now has a complete

List sorting now uses the merge-ordering strategy from Munro and Wild's
``powersort()``. Unlike the former strategy, this is provably near-optimal
in the entropy of the distribution of run lengths. Most uses of
``list.sort()`` probably won't see a significant time difference, but may
see significant improvements in cases where the former strategy was
exceptionally poor. However, as these are all fast linear-time
approximations to a problem that's inherently at best quadratic-time to
solve truly optimally, it's also possible to contrive cases where the former
strategy did better.

Remove 4 private trashcan C API functions which were only kept for the
backward compatibility of the stable ABI with Python 3.8 and older, since
the trashcan API was not usable with the limited C API on Python 3.8 and

Removed functions:

* _PyTrash_deposit_object()
* _PyTrash_destroy_chain()
* _PyTrash_thread_deposit_object()
* _PyTrash_thread_destroy_chain()

The trashcan C API was never usable with the limited C API, since old
trashcan macros accessed directly :c:type:`PyThreadState` members like
``_tstate->trash_delete_nesting``, whereas the :c:type:`PyThreadState`
structure is opaque in the limited C API.
