The backtrace printing was actually already there, but was emitted using
sr_dbg(), which doesn't show up by default for most users. Make it an
srd_err() so that most users will see it.
This fixes bug #1158.

With these additions, frontends can now call libsigrokdecode API
functions from different threads without running into threading issues.
The backend releases the GIL when it is performing tasks that might take
a while and it doesn't need to run Python/C API calls during that time.
This allows frontends to run multiple PD stacks (in multiple frontend
threads) "at the same time" in a time-sharing, "interlocked" manner.
Whenever one of the decoders is inside e.g. self.wait() it releases the
GIL and thus allows other decoders to do some work in the mean time.
The user-visible effect is that for use-cases such as running 3 different
decoder stacks at the same time for an acquisition, the user will not
have to wait for PD 1 to finish decoding, then wait for PD 2 to finish
decoding, and only *then* being able to see annotations from PD 3.
Instead, all three PDs will decode some chunks of data from time to
time, thus the user is able to inspect annotations from all 3 PDs while
the acquisition and decoding is still going on.

Create a utility function for loading a Python module by its name
in UTF-8.

Limit usage of the Python C API to the stable ABI subset as defined
by PEP 384. This removes some type definitions and functions which
libsigrokdecode made use of. Convert all affected code to suitable
API alternatives. Also fix a few leaks that became apparent while
working on the code.
The most visible change is that PyTypeObject is now an opaque type.
Thus, the custom Decoder and srd_logic types are now created on the
heap via an alternative API. Unfortunately, since tp_name is now
inaccessible, type names had to be removed from the log output.
Stack traces after Python exceptions are now formatted by calling
into Python, since the trace object C API is no longer available.

Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.

This prevents Python.h from being included into client code, where
it can mess things up by e.g. redefining _POSIX_C_SOURCE.
|
|
This matches the convention used in libsigrok. Potential other headers
might end up in libsigrokdecode/, but only libsigrokdecode.h is meant
to be #included by frontends directly.

This is not yet finished, more things should be made private.
