Fix a regression when a type method like ``__init__()`` is modified in a
subinterpreter. Fix a regression in ``_PyUnicode_EqualToASCIIId()`` and type
``update_slot()``. Revert the change which made the Unicode dictionary of
interned strings compatible with subinterpreters: the internal interned
dictionary is shared again by all interpreters. Patch by Victor Stinner.

Restore behavior from 3.9 and earlier when sending non-None to newly started
generator. In 3.9 this did not affect the state of the generator. In 3.10.0
and 3.10.1 ``gen_func().send(0)`` is equivalent to
``gen_func().throw(TypeError(...)`` which exhausts the generator. In 3.10.2
onward, the behavior has been reverted to that of 3.9.

The ``registry()`` method of :func:`functools.singledispatch` functions
checks now the first argument or the first parameter annotation and raises a

Fixes the issue with log file being overwritten when
:class:`logging.FileHandler` is used in :mod:`atexit` with *filemode* set to
