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.
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.

not passed to subprocess.Popen as the default value will be changing in a
future Python to the safer and more often desired value of True.
DeprecationWarnings that show up in a lot of existing code are controversial
and have caused pain in the past. I'd like to leave this on for 3.2 beta1 and
see how things go. We can remove the warning if it is deemed too noisy during
any betas. (case study: the md5 and sha module DeprecationWarnings are loathed
around the world as those modules were never going to be removed in 2.x and
2to3 has a fixer for code that uses them)
Added a few common Popen uses to the tests like we've done for a few other
instances of adding context managers. Eventually the entire test suite
could be converted to use the context manager format.
