bpo-40910: Export Py_GetArgcArgv() function (GH-20721) (GH-20723)
 
Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.

* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
  _PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().

(cherry picked from commit e81f6e687d0f04a45f2389d0b43fafd6d8491624)

README.coverity 

Coverity has a static analysis tool (Prevent) which is similar to Klocwork.
They run their tool on the Python source code (SVN head) on a daily basis.
The results are available at:

     http://scan.coverity.com/

About 20 people have access to the analysis reports.  Other
people can be added by request.

Prevent was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in March 2006.
There were originally about 100 defects reported.  Some of these
were false positives.  Over 70 issues were uncovered.

Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it.
When checking in changes due to a warning, the unique id
as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message.

False positives were annotated so that the comments can
be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect.

Contact python-dev@python.org for more information.
