Since CPython 3.8 .pyd files no longer look in PATH for loading libraries,
but require the DLL directory to be explicitely added via os.add_dll_directory().
This resulted in those tests failing with 3.8+ on Windows.
Add the DLL build directory with os.add_dll_directory() to fix them.
This was never noticed in CI because it only uses Python 3.7 and the
MSYS2 CPython still used the old behaviour until now.
In a couple of python module tests, we try to test things that rely on
the default python being the same one we look up in the python module.
This is unsolvable for the deprecated python3 module, as it actually
uses the in-process version of python for everything. For the python
module, we could actually look up the default system python instead of
the one we are running with, but then we wouldn't be testing the
functionality of that alternative python... and also the install
manifest tests would see files installed for the wrong version of
python, and report a combination of missing+extra files...
Solve both tests by just skipping the parts we cannot check.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
On Windows, we can build with both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers, but the
Python is either 32-bit or 64-bit. Check the architecture of the found
Python libraries and don't use them if they don't match our
build_machine.
Also skip the tests if the Python 3 dependency is not found.
