Issue #27123: When an exception is raised within the context being

managed by a contextlib.ExitStack() and one of the exit stack
generators catches and raises it in a chain, do not re-raise the
original exception when exiting, let the new chained one through.
This avoids the PEP 479 bug described in issue25782.

 - Issue #27278: Fix os.urandom() implementation using getrandom() on Linux.
   Truncate size to INT_MAX and loop until we collected enough random bytes,
   instead of casting a directly Py_ssize_t to int.
