In Python 3.2 and earlier, Process.join() and Connection.poll()
treated negative timeouts as zero timeouts. Earlier versions from
the 3.3 line of development treat them as infinite timeouts.
The patch reverts to the old behaviour.
Also, add a multiprocessing.connection.wait(rlist, timeout=None) function
for polling multiple objects at once. Patch by sbt.
Complete changelist from sbt's patch:
* Adds a wait(rlist, timeout=None) function for polling multiple
objects at once. On Unix this is just a wrapper for
select(rlist, [], [], timeout=None).
* Removes use of the SentinelReady exception and the sentinels argument
to certain methods. concurrent.futures.process has been changed to
use wait() instead of SentinelReady.
* Fixes bugs concerning PipeConnection.poll() and messages of zero
length.
* Fixes PipeListener.accept() to call ConnectNamedPipe() with
overlapped=True.
* Fixes Queue.empty() and SimpleQueue.empty() so that they are
threadsafe on Windows.
* Now PipeConnection.poll() and wait() will not modify the pipe except
possibly by consuming a zero length message. (Previously poll()
could consume a partial message.)
* All of multiprocesing's pipe related blocking functions/methods are
now interruptible by SIGINT on Windows.
sockets, and set FILE_FLAG_FIRST_PIPE_INSTANCE on named pipes, to make sure two
listeners can't bind to the same socket/pipe (or any existing socket/pipe).
'latin-1' and 'utf-8'.
These are optimized in the Python Unicode implementation
to result in more direct processing, bypassing the codec
registry.

The test suite currently skips test_multiprocessing on Windows
because it fails on finding _multiprocessing in several
win32-specific blocks. Removing the relative import lets this
through and allows the test to run (and pass).

Issue #7318: multiprocessing now uses a timeout when it fails to establish
a connection with another process, rather than looping endlessly. The
default timeout is 20 seconds, which should be amply sufficient for
local connections.

Fix problem reported by pychecker where AuthenticationError wasn't imported.
Add some test coverage to this code. More tests should be added (TODO added).
