on the size of values and can silently corrupt database files when those
are exceeded.

Add support for `os.POSIX_SPAWN_CLOSEFROM` and
`posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np` and have the `subprocess` module use
them when available. This means `posix_spawn` can now be used in the default
`close_fds=True` situation on many platforms.

* Allow posix_spawn to inherit environment form parent environ variable.
With this change, posix_spawn call can behave similarly to execv with regards to environments when used in subprocess functions.
PR #100161 added fancy float-style formatting for the Fraction type,
but left us in a state where basic formatting for fractions (alignment,
fill, minimum width, thousands separators) still wasn't supported.
This PR adds that support.

* gh-105912: document gotcha with using os.fork on macOS
Using ``fork(2)`` on macOS when also using higher-level
system APIs in the parent proces can crash on macOS because
those system APIs are not written to handle this usage
pattern.
There's nothing we can do about this other than documenting
the problem.

When new mailbox.Maildir methods were added for 3.13.0a2, their
documentation was added at the end of the mailbox.Maildir section
instead of grouping them with other methods Maildir adds to Mailbox.
This commit moves the new methods' documentation adjacent to
documentation for existing Maildir-specific methods, so that
the "special remarks" for common methods remains at the end.
POSIX specifies that implementations are not required to support changing the
file mode of symbolic links, but may do so.
Consequently, `lchmod()` is not part of POSIX (but mentioned for implementations
which do support the above).
The current wording of the availability of `os.lchmod()` is rather vague and
improved to clearly tell which POSIX/Unix/BSD-like support the function in
general (those that support changing the file mode of symbolic links).
Further, some examples of major implementations are added.
Data for the BSDs taken from their online manpages.
