Remove the explicit specification of the css-file for readthedocs.org.
It is not needed any more.

(cherry picked from commit e61be11)

Set the css-file to "pydoctheme.css".

(cherry picked from commit 53ca885)

Well, the previous commit didn't build on readthedocs.org.
- Rename .readthedocs.yml to .readthedocs.yaml
  See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/index.html
- Add a requirements file Doc/slp_readthedocs_requirements.txt and
  require the same packages as specified in Makefile. Already set the
  Sphinx version to 2.0.1, because upstream commit 7d23dbe

(cherry picked from commit a15ae9c)

Update the Stackless patches for readthedocs.org based on the
documentation. This simplified configuration is still untested.

(cherry picked from commit b87f882)

Support the PEP-523 eval_frame-hook for one particular use case: byte
code instrumentation. An example is the pydev-debugger. It can use the
hook to inject "break-points". This is much more efficient, than
traditional trace functions.

Kristján pointed me to another race, but now extracting the archive
members should be save.

…tation)

Update the API Documentation. There are changes to the Stackless-protocol and
a few new macros (STACKLESS_VECTORCALLxxxx).

This is the last merge before starting branch 3.8-slp.

The was a race, when extracting libstackman.a.

I got a test system and fixed some minor issues:

1. C char is unsigned by default. Comparisons between char and integer
   fail for negative values. AFAIK this affects
   only PyFrameObject.f_executing

2. Stack usage in debug builds without optimization (CFLAGS=-O0).
   Worst case (compiler clang) is about 1560 bytes per Python recursion.
   On AMD64 we need only about 744 bytes. This causes various failures
   in test_pickle.TestPickledTasklets.
   Fix: double the maximum stack size, if compiled without function
   inlining.

The flag is now deprecated and is not needed any longer.

Convert initializers for static type objects to use C99 designator
syntax. This way the code is more robust against changes of
PyTypeObject.

Header slp_exttype.h was recreated.
