Ensure that stdout / stderr is inherited from the parent if stdout=PIPE /
stderr=PIPE is not used.

subprocess.Popen() and os._execvpe() support bytes program name. Add
os.supports_bytes_environ flag: True if the native OS type of the environment
is bytes (eg. False on Windows).

  subprocess.Popen.__del__ referenced global objects, which is a no-no thanks to
  interpreter shutdown semantics. Same issue goes for the methods that __del__
  called. Now all the methods capture the global objects it needs as default
  values to private parameters (could have stuck them on the class object itself,
  but since the objects have nothing directly to do with the class that seemed
  wrong).

  There is no test as making one that works is hard. This patch was
  verified against a consistently failing test in Mercurial's test suite, though,
  so it has been tested in some regard.

  Closes issue #5099. Thanks to Mary Stern for the bug report and Gabriel
  Genellina for writing another patch for the same issue and attempting to write
  a test.

  POSIX systems with a C extension module.  This is required in order for
  the subprocess module to be made thread safe.

  The pure python implementation is retained so that it can continue to be
  used if for some reason the _posixsubprocess extension module is not
  available.

  The unittest executes tests on both code paths to guarantee compatibility.

* Moves PyLong_FromPid and PyLong_AsPid from posixmodule.c into longobject.h.

  Adds a sanity check to avoid a *very rare* infinite loop due to a corrupt tls
  key list data structure in the thread startup path.

  This change is a companion to r60148 which already successfully dealt with a
  similar issue on thread shutdown.

  In particular this loop has been observed happening from this call path:
   #0  in find_key ()
   #1  in PyThread_set_key_value ()
   #2  in _PyGILState_NoteThreadState ()
   #3  in PyThreadState_New ()
   #4  in t_bootstrap ()
   #5  in pthread_start_thread ()

  I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely.  On more than
  one hardware platform.  I have not been able to reproduce it manually.
  (A flaky mutex implementation on the system in question is one hypothesis).

  As with r60148, the spinning we managed to observe in the wild was due to a
  single list element pointing back upon itself.

I replaced sys.maxint with sys.maxsize in Lib/*.py. Does anybody see a problem with the change on Win 64bit platforms? Win 64's long is just 32bit but the sys.maxsize is now 2**63-1 on every 64bit platform.
Also added docs for sys.maxsize.

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

The patch fixes some of the problems on Windows. It doesn't introduce
addition problems on Linux.

I like this because it makes the code shorter! :-)

Get rid of buffer().  Use memoryview() in its place where possible.
In a few places, do things a bit different, because memoryview()
can't slice (yet).
