When the modern text= spelling of the universal_newlines= parameter was added
for Python 3.7, check_output's special case around input=None was overlooked.
So it behaved differently with universal_newlines=True vs text=True. This
reconciles the behavior to be consistent and adds a test to guarantee it.
Also clarifies the existing check_output documentation.

send_signal() now swallows the exception if the process it thought was still alive winds up not to exist anymore (always a plausible race condition despite the checks).

Fix memory leak in subprocess.Popen() in case of uid/gid overflow
Also add a test that would catch this leak with `--huntrleaks`.
Alas, the test for `extra_groups` also exposes an inconsistency
in our error reporting: we use a custom ValueError for `extra_groups`,
but propagate OverflowError for `user` and `group`.
* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module
* Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class
This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes.
On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing.
When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are
very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical
Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better.
For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to
be able to set the pipe size.
The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in
conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior.
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
Moreover, the following tests now check the child process exit code:
* test_os.PtyTests
* test_mailbox.test_lock_conflict()
* test_tempfile.test_process_awareness()
* test_uuid.testIssue8621()
* multiprocessing resource tracker tests
* bpo-22490: Remove "__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__" from the shell environment on macOS
This changeset removes the environment varialbe "__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__"
during interpreter launch as it is only needed to communicate between
the stub executable in framework installs and the actual interpreter.
Leaving the environment variable present may lead to misbehaviour when
launching other scripts.
* Actually commit the changes for issue 22490...
* Correct typo

test_subprocess.test_user() now skips the test on an user name if the
user name doesn't exist. For example, skip the test if the user
"nobody" doesn't exist on Linux.
When communicate() is called in a loop, it crashes when the child process
has already closed any piped standard stream, but still continues to be running

On Unix, subprocess.Popen.send_signal() now polls the process status.
Polling reduces the risk of sending a signal to the wrong process if
the process completed, the Popen.returncode attribute is still None,
and the pid has been reassigned (recycled) to a new different
process.
Replace hardcoded timeout constants in tests with SHORT_TIMEOUT of
test.support, so it's easier to ajdust this timeout for all tests at
once.
SHORT_TIMEOUT is 30 seconds by default, but it can be longer
depending on --timeout command line option.
The change makes almost all timeouts longer, except
test_reap_children() of test_support which is made 2x shorter:
SHORT_TIMEOUT should be enough. If this test starts to fail,
LONG_TIMEOUT should be used instead.
Uniformize also "from test import support" import in some test files.
* bpo-38456: Use /bin/true in test_subprocess.
Instead of sys.executable, "-c", "pass" or "import sys; sys.exit(0)"
use /bin/true when it is available. On a reasonable machine this
shaves up to two seconds wall time off the otherwise ~40sec execution
on a --with-pydebug build. It should be more notable on many
buildbots or overloaded slower I/O systems (CI, etc).
* subprocess.Popen now longer uses posix_spawn() if uid, gid or gids are set.
* test_subprocess: add "nobody" and "nfsnobody" group names for test_group().
* test_subprocess: test_user() and test_group() are now also tested with close_fds=False.
* subprocess: Add user, group and extra_groups paremeters to subprocess.Popen
This adds a `user` parameter to the Popen constructor that will call
setreuid() in the child before calling exec(). This allows processes
running as root to safely drop privileges before running the subprocess
without having to use a preexec_fn.
This also adds a `group` parameter that will call setregid() in
the child process before calling exec().
Finally an `extra_groups` parameter was added that will call
setgroups() to set the supplimental groups.
Fixes a possible hang when using a timeout on subprocess.run() while
capturing output. If the child process spawned its own children or otherwise
connected its stdout or stderr handles with another process, we could hang
after the timeout was reached and our child was killed when attempting to read
final output from the pipes.
