Deprecate ``numpy.distutils.exec_command`` and ``numpy.distutils.temp_file_name``
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
The internal use of these functions has been refactored and there are better
alternatives. Relace ``exec_command`` with `subprocess.Popen` and
``temp_file_name`` with `tempfile.mkstemp`.

Signed zero when using divmod

Starting in version 1.12.0, numpy incorrectly returned a negatively signed zero

zero. For example::

Do not lookup ``__buffer__`` attribute in `numpy.frombuffer`

Looking up ``__buffer__`` attribute in `numpy.frombuffer` was undocumented and
non-functional. This code was removed. If needed, use

Replacement of the `fftpack`-based FFT module by the `pocketfft` library

Both implementations have the same ancestor (Fortran77 `FFTPACK` by Paul N.

``median`` and ``percentile`` family of functions no longer warn about ``nan``
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
`numpy.median`, `numpy.percentile`, and `numpy.quantile` used to emit a
``RuntimeWarning`` when encountering an `numpy.nan`. Since they return the
``nan`` value, the warning is redundant and has been removed.
