bpo-37380: subprocess: don't use _active on win (GH-14360) (GH-15707)

As noted by @eryksun in [1] and [2], using _cleanup and _active(in
__del__) is not necessary on Windows, since:

> Unlike Unix, a process in Windows doesn't have to be waited on by
> its parent to avoid a zombie. Keeping the handle open will actually
> create a zombie until the next _cleanup() call, which may be never
> if Popen() isn't called again.

This patch simply defines `subprocess._active` as `None`, for which we already
have the proper logic in place in `subprocess.Popen.__del__`, that prevents it
from trying to append the process to the `_active`. This patch also defines
`subprocess._cleanup` as a noop for Windows.
