This change gets the Python codebase into a state where it conforms to the conventions of this codebase. It's now possible to include headers from Python, without worrying about ordering. Python has traditionally solved that problem by "diamonding" everything in Python.h, but that's problematic since it means any change to any Python header invalidates all the build artifacts. Lastly it makes tooling not work. Since it is hard to explain to Emacs when I press C-c C-h to add an import line it shouldn't add the header that actually defines the symbol, and instead do follow the nonstandard Python convention. Progress has been made on letting Python load source code from the zip executable structure via the standard C library APIs. System calss now recognizes zip!FILENAME alternative URIs as equivalent to zip:FILENAME since Python uses colon as its delimiter. Some progress has been made on embedding the notice license terms into the Python object code. This is easier said than done since Python has an extremely complicated ownership story. - Some termios APIs have been added - Implement rewinddir() dirstream API - GetCpuCount() API added to Cosmopolitan Libc - More bugs in Cosmopolitan Libc have been fixed - zipobj.com now has flags for mangling the path - Fixed bug a priori with sendfile() on certain BSDs - Polyfill F_DUPFD and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC across platforms - FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX now polyfilled for fast O_CLOEXEC changes - APE now supports a hybrid solution to no-self-modify for builds - Many BSD-only magnums added, e.g. O_SEARCH, O_SHLOCK, SF_NODISKIO |

SYNOPSIS
System Five Import Libraries
OVERVIEW
Bell System Five is the umbrella term we use to describe Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X which all have nearly-identical application binary interfaces that stood the test of time, having definitions nearly the same as those of AT&T back in the 1980's.
Cosmopolitan aims to help you build apps that can endure over the course of decades, just like these systems have: without needing to lift a finger for maintenance churn, broken builds, broken hearts.
The challenge to System V binary compatibility basically boils down to numbers. All these systems agree on what services are provided, but tend to grant them wildly different numbers.
We address this by putting all the numbers in a couple big shell scripts, ask the GNU Assembler to encode them into binaries using an efficient LEB128 encoding, unpacked by _init(), and ref'd via extern const. It gives us good debuggability, and any costs are gained back by fewer branches in wrapper functions.z
