merge of hpy-0.9

I merged the hpy-0.9 branch to py3.9. There are a few untranslated 
failures, and more extra_tests post-translation failures. Most of the 
extra_test failures are in the debug/trace/hpy_devel/importing tests 
which cannot really be checked untranslated. Help is welcome to try to 
debug if the failures are due to using pytest4.0, to something in the 
test harnesses, or whether there is an actual problem with the hpy 
backend implementation.


Additionally, the branch crashes when importing NumPy from the hpy 
branch https://github.com/hpyproject/numpy-hpy. This is being tracked in 
issue https://github.com/hpyproject/numpy-hpy/issues/15. It seems the 
custom trace function necessary to keep the W_Root object associated 
with a HPyField is not being called. Again: help here is welcome.


I can meet up on zoom or google meet if anyone would like to dive in and 
wants to talk about the problems.
