Remove the pure Python POSIX subprocess implementation.
If non-CPython VMs (are there any for 3.x yet?) were somehow depending
on this, they already have the exact same set of problems with Python
code being executed after os.fork() that _posixsubprocess was written
to deal with. They should implement an equivalent outside of Python.
_posixsubprocess doesn't exist rather than simply stubbing it out
after the fact. This adds coverage for the RuntimeWarning as well as
using the pure python _create_pipe instead of using
_posixsubprocess.cloexec_pipe unintentionally with the pure python
code.
Ironically: I don't think any platform should ever actually _use_ the
pure Python subprocess code on POSIX platforms anymore. This at least
tests it properly in this stable branch. The pure python code for
this is likely to be removed in 3.3.

This was the original intention, but it wasn't threaded all the way through due
to 'endtime'. Also added a trivial assertion to get coverage of __str__.
If the timeout expires before the subprocess exits, the wait method and the
communicate method will raise a subprocess.TimeoutExpired exception. When used
with communicate, it is possible to catch the exception, kill the process, and
retry the communicate and receive any output written to stdout or stderr.
'latin-1' and 'utf-8'.
These are optimized in the Python Unicode implementation
to result in more direct processing, bypassing the codec
registry.

Issue #7213: Change the close_fds default on Windows to better match the new
default on POSIX. True when possible (False if stdin/stdout/stderr are
supplied).
Update the documentation to reflect all of the above.
