* `flags` is indeed deprecated, but there is a validation on its value for
backwards compatibility reasons. This adds mention of this in the docs.
* The docs say that `sizehint` is deprecated and ignored, but it is still
used when `epoll_create1()` is unavailable. This adds mention of this in
the docs.
* `sizehint=-1` is acceptable again, and is replaced with `FD_SETSIZE-1`.
This is needed to have a default value available at the Python level,
since `FD_SETSIZE` is not exposed to Python. (see: bpo-31938)
* Reject `sizehint=0` since it is invalid to pass on to `epoll_create()`.
The relevant tests have also been updated.

timeout when interrupted by a signal, except if the signal handler raises an
exception. This change is part of the PEP 475.
The asyncore and selectors module doesn't catch the InterruptedError exception
anymore when calling select.select(), since this function should not raise
InterruptedError anymore.
