[issue20500] assertion failed when passing an exception object to sys.exit

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I also added a versionchanged to PyObject_Str and a note in the Porting section of What's New, as third party extensions could also be affected by this change - it elevates "may silently discard an active exception" to "debug build assertion failure".
