Explicitly handle the case where stdout=STDOUT
as otherwise the existing error handling gets
confused and reports hard to understand errors.

Starting in Python 3.12, we prevented calling fork() and starting new threads
during interpreter finalization (shutdown). This has led to a number of
regressions and flaky tests. We should not prevent starting new threads
(or `fork()`) until all non-daemon threads exit and finalization starts in
earnest.
This changes the checks to use `_PyInterpreterState_GetFinalizing(interp)`,
which is set immediately before terminating non-daemon threads.
* gh-104522: Fix test_subprocess failure when build Python in the root home directory
EPERM is raised when setreuid() fails.
EACCES is set in execve() when the test user has not access to sys.executable.
Only set filename to cwd if it was caused by failed chdir(cwd).
_fork_exec() now returns "noexec:chdir" for failed chdir(cwd).

Add support for `os.POSIX_SPAWN_CLOSEFROM` and
`posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np` and have the `subprocess` module use
them when available. This means `posix_spawn` can now be used in the default
`close_fds=True` situation on many platforms.

Regression test that vfork is used when expected by subprocess.
This is written integration test style, it uses strace if it is present and appears to work to find out what system call actually gets used in different scenarios.
Test coverage is added for the default behavior and that of each of the specific arguments that must disable the use of vfork. obviously not an entire test matrix, but it covers the most important aspects.
If there are ever issues with this test being flaky or failing on new platforms, rather than try and adapt it for all possible platforms, feel free to narrow the range it gets tested on when appropriate. That is not likely to reduce coverage.
Restore `subprocess`'s intended use of `vfork()` by default for performance on Linux;
also fixes the behavior of `extra_groups=[]` which was unintentionally broken in 3.12.0:
Fixed a performance regression in 3.12's :mod:`subprocess` on Linux where it
would no longer use the fast-path ``vfork()`` system call when it could have
due to a logic bug, instead falling back to the safe but slower ``fork()``.
Also fixed a security bug introduced in 3.12.0. If a value of ``extra_groups=[]``
was passed to :mod:`subprocess.Popen` or related APIs, the underlying
``setgroups(0, NULL)`` system call to clear the groups list would not be made
in the child process prior to ``exec()``.
The security issue was identified via code inspection in the process of
fixing the first bug. Thanks to @vain for the detailed report and
analysis in the initial bug on Github.

Disallow thread creation and fork at interpreter finalization.
in the following functions, check if interpreter is finalizing and raise `RuntimeError` with appropriate message:
* `_thread.start_new_thread` and thus `threading`
* `posix.fork`
* `posix.fork1`
* `posix.forkpty`
* `_posixsubprocess.fork_exec` when a `preexec_fn=` is supplied.

One more thing that can help prevent people from using `preexec_fn`.
Also adds conditional skips to two tests exposing ASAN flakiness on the Ubuntu 20.04 Address Sanitizer Github CI system. When that build is run on more modern systems the "problem" does not show up. It seems ASAN implementation related.

Just in case there is ever an issue with _posixsubprocess's use of
vfork() due to the complexity of using it properly and potential
directions that Linux platforms where it defaults to on could take, this
adds a failsafe so that users can disable its use entirely by setting
a global flag.
No known reason to disable it exists. But it'd be a shame to encounter
one and not be able to use CPython without patching and rebuilding it.
See the linked issue for some discussion on reasoning.
Also documents the existing way to disable posix_spawn.
Removes the `list` call in the Popen `repr`.
Current implementation:
For cmd = `python --version`, with `shell=True`.
```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n', ' ', '-', '-',...>
```
For `shell=False` and args=`['python', '--version']`, the output is correct:
```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['python', '--version']>
```
With the new changes the `repr` yields:
For cmd = `python --version`, with `shell=True`:
```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: 'python --version'>
```
For `shell=False` and args=`['python', '--version']`, the output:
```bash
<Popen: returncode: None args: ['python', '--version']>
```

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.
