[issue30489] Add CmdLineTest to standard library

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Santiago, an idea like this (one that requests a reversal of previous decisions) should be discussed first on the python-ideas list.  Such a discussion would need to result in a specific proposal of what to extract from test_cmd_line_script.py and where to put it.  test_cmd_line_script.py itself cannot be moved.  If you get a positive response there, you can re-open this or open a new issue.

The test utilities in test/ are already 'in' the stdlib, in that one can  import and use them.  However, doing so is at one's own risk of API change.  They are declared private and kept in test/ so that we can freely change them as needed for their primary purpose -- testing cpython.
