Move float.__new__ to AC vectorcall dropping the hand-written.
Running microbenchmark from the original add (`pyperf timeit "float(0)"`
in gh-86039) shows no significant performance change.
The generated name matches the hand-written name so the tp_vectorcall
slot is unchanged.
Update the vectorcall slot-parity test to include float.
This reverts commit 68c7fad757.
It looks like on practice the __STDC_IEC_559__ doesn't indicate
conformance to the standard. It can't be used to filter out tests
or to give some promises in documentation. See discussion in
the reverted PR thread:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/138811#issuecomment-4117692418
This value indicating support the IEC 60559 floating-point standard (the
Annex F of C99). If enabled, the float type characteristics matches the
IEC 60559 double format and exceptional cases for the math's functions
follow to the section F.10 of the C99 standard.

* Drop DOUBLE_IS_ARM_MIXED_ENDIAN_IEEE754 macro.
* Use DOUBLE_IS_BIG/LITTLE_ENDIAN_IEEE754 to detect endianness of
float/doubles.
* Drop "unknown_format" code path in PyFloat_Pack/Unpack*().

When comparing negative non-integer float and int with the same number
of bits in the integer part, __neg__() in the int subclass returning
not an int caused an assertion error.
Now the integer is no longer negated. Also, reduced the number of
temporary created Python objects.
* Skip sNaN's testing in 32-bit mode.
* Drop float_set_snan() helper.
* Use memcpy() workaround for sNaN's in PyFloat_Unpack4().
* Document, that sNaN's may not be preserved by PyFloat_Pack/Unpack API.
Optimize `LOAD_FAST` opcodes into faster versions that load borrowed references onto the operand stack when we can prove that the lifetime of the local outlives the lifetime of the temporary that is loaded onto the stack.
"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should
be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign
of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure
imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for
complex elementary functions.
This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and
complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular,
there is no special version for the true division with real lhs
operand). Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these
special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be
deprecated in C2y).
Instead of be limited just by the size of addressable memory (2**63
bytes), Python integers are now also limited by the number of bits, so
the number of bit now always fit in a 64-bit integer.
Both limits are much larger than what might be available in practice,
so it doesn't affect users.
_PyLong_NumBits() and _PyLong_Frexp() are now always successful.
This combines and updates our freelist handling to use a consistent
implementation. Objects in the freelist are linked together using the
first word of memory block.
If configured with freelists disabled, these operations are essentially
no-ops.
They are alternate constructors which only accept numbers
(including objects with special methods __float__, __complex__
and __index__), but not strings.
Performance improvement to `float.fromhex`: use a lookup table
for computing the hexadecimal value of a character, in place of the
previous switch-case construct. Patch by Bruno Lima.
Remove <ctype.h> in C files which don't use it; only sre.c and
_decimal.c still use it.
Remove _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE code from pyport.h:
* Code added by commit b5047fd019
in 2004 for MacOSX and FreeBSD.
* Test removed by commit 52ddaefb6b
in 2007, since Python str type now uses locale independent
functions like Py_ISALPHA() and Py_TOLOWER() and the Unicode
database.
Modules/_sre/sre.c replaces _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE with new
functions: sre_isalnum(), sre_tolower(), sre_toupper().
Remove unused includes:
* _localemodule.c: remove <stdio.h>.
* getargs.c: remove <float.h>.
* dynload_win.c: remove <direct.h>, it no longer calls _getcwd()
since commit fb1f68ed7c (in 2001).
