Link to the glossary for "magic methods" in ``MagicMock`` (GH-111292)
The MagicMock documentation mentions magic methods several times without
actually pointing to the term in the glossary. This can be helpful for
people to fully understand what those magic methods are.

GH-113661: unittest runner: Don't exit 5 if tests were skipped (GH-113856)
The intention of exiting 5 was to detect issues where the test suite
wasn't discovered at all. If we skipped tests, it was correctly
discovered.

An active loop is only used when the `timeout` parameter is used on
POSIX.
When no timeout is used, the code calls `os.waitpid` internally (which puts
the process on a sleep status). On Windows, the internal Windows API
call accepts a timeout parameter, so that is delegated to the OS.

gh-105912: document gotcha with using os.fork on macOS (GH-112871)
* 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.
