* Replace time.sleep(0.010) with sleeping_retry() to
use an exponential sleep.
* support.wait_process(): reuse sleeping_retry().
* _test_eintr: remove unused variables.
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-31479: Always reset the signal alarm in tests
Use "try: ... finally: signal.signal(0)" pattern to make sure that
tests don't "leak" a pending fatal signal alarm.
* Move two more alarm() calls into the try block
Fix also typo: replace signal.signal(0) with signal.alarm(0)
* Move another signal.alarm() into the try block
* Add Lib/test/signalinterproctester.py
* Don't disable the garbage collector anymore
* Don't use os.fork() with a subprocess to not inherit existing signal handlers
or threads: start from a fresh process
* Don't use UNIX kill command to send a signal but Python os.kill()
* Use a timeout of 10 seconds to wait for the signal instead of 1 second
* Always use signal.pause(), instead of time.wait(1), to wait for a signal
* Use context manager on subprocess.Popen
* remove code to retry on EINTR: it's no more needed since the PEP 475
* remove unused function exit_subprocess()
* Cleanup the code
