Per POSIX, `nice(3)` requires `unistd.h` and `exit(3)` requires `stdlib.h`.
Fixing the test will prevent false positives with pedantic compilers like clang.
Responding to suggestions on the tracker and some off-line suggestions.
Davin suggested that english named accessors instead of greek letters would result in more intelligible user code. Steven suggested that the parameters still need to be *mu* and *theta* which are used elsewhere (and I noted those parameter names are used in linked-to resources).
Michael suggested proving-out the API by seeing whether it generalized to *Lognormal*. I did so and found that Lognormal distribution parameters *mu* and *sigma* do not represent the mean and standard deviation of the lognormal distribution (instead, they are for the underlying regular normal distribution).
Putting these ideas together, we have NormalDist parameterized by *mu* and *sigma* but offering English named properties for accessors. That gives lets us match other API that access mu and sigma, it matches the external resources on the topic, gives us clear english names in user code. The API extends nicely to LogNormal where the parameters and the summary statistic accessors are not the same.

* Removed ShareableList.copy as redundant.
* Changes to _winapi use from eryksun feedback.
* Adopt simpler SharedMemory API, collapsing PosixSharedMemory and WindowsNamedSharedMemory into one.
* Fix missing docstring on class, add test for ignoring size when attaching.
* Moved SharedMemoryManager to managers module, tweak to fragile test.
* Tweak to exception in OpenFileMapping suggested by eryksun.
* Mark a few dangling bits as private as suggested by Giampaolo.
Ensure that the main interpreter is active (in the main thread) for signal-handling operations. This is increasingly relevant as people use subinterpreters more.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35724
Trying to assign a value to __debug__ using the assignment operator is supposed to fail, but
a missing check for forbidden names when setting the context in the ast was preventing this behaviour.
Explicitly reinitialize this every eval *just in case* someone is
calling into an embedded Python where they don't care about an uncaught
KeyboardInterrupt exception (why didn't they leave
`config.install_signal_handlers` set to `0`?!?) but then later call
`Py_Main()` itself (which *checks* this flag and dies with a signal after
its interpreter exits). We don't want a previous embedded interpreter's
uncaught exception to trigger an unexplained signal exit from a future
`Py_Main()` based one.
