Fix Issue9272 - Change CGIHTTPServer to give the child program a copy of os.environ

UNTESTED!!!
This simple two-line patch has been sitting on SF for more than 2 years.
I'm guessing it's because nobody knows how to test it -- I sure don't.
It doesn't look like you can get to this part of the code on Unixish
or Windows systems, so the "how to test it?" puzzle has more than one
part. OTOH, if this is dead code, it doesn't matter either if I just
broke it <wink>.
added test script and expected output file as well
this closes patch 103297.
__all__ attributes will be added to other modules without first submitting
a patch, just adding the necessary line to the test script to verify
more-or-less correct implementation.
unbuffered (by setting the class variable rbufsize to 0), because we
(may) need to pass the file descriptor to the subprocess running the
CGI script positioned after the headers.
(1) Fix reference to pwd.error to be KeyError -- there is no pwd.error
and pwd.getpwnam() raises KeyError on failure.
(2) Add cookie support, by placing the 'Cookie:' header, if present,
in the HTTP_COOKIE environment variable.
In CGIHTTPServer.py, the list of acceptable formats is -split-
on spaces but -joined- on commas, resulting in double commas
in the joined text. It appears harmless to my browser but
ought to be fixed anyway.
'A, B, C' -> 'A,', 'B,', 'C,' -> 'A,,B,,C'

I think I found a bug in CGIHTTPServer.py. (Does anyone care? :-)
I was trying to use it as the web server for uploading files.
Python CGI scripts (using the CGI module) that worked for other
servers (e.g., Netscape Enterprise server) hang when run from
CGIHTTPServer. The problem is that the content type parameters,
in particular the boundary parameter, were not passed through to
the CGI scripts, thus making the MIME parsing code choke.
My simple-minded fix is:
% diff CGIHTTPServer.py /usr/local/lib/python1.5/CGIHTTPServer.py
137,140c136
< if self.headers.typeheader is None:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type
< else:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.typeheader
---
> env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type
