Mark Dickinson bbacb838c9 Issue #7355: Various improvements to struct module documentation.
- note early on that the result of struct.pack includes padding
   bytes by default

 - add examples showing how order of struct fields can affect size
   (due to padding)

 - better headers and references; introduction to format strings

 - integrate packing notes into table

Many thanks to Meador Inge for the patch.

R. David Murray 1a14d3d169 Issue #7585: use tab between components in unified and context diff headers.
Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string
is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs.  This is what the unix
'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow
the 'standard' way of doing diffs.  This improves compatibility with
patch tools.  The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that
the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff
tools emit by default.

Patch by Anatoly Techtonik.

Brian Curtin e5aa886b44 Implement #1220212. Add os.kill support for Windows.
os.kill takes one of two newly added signals, CTRL_C_EVENT and
CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, or any integer value. The events are a special case
which work with subprocess console applications which implement a
special console control handler. Any other value but those two will
cause os.kill to use TerminateProcess, outright killing the process.

This change adds win_console_handler.py, which is a script to implement
SetConsoleCtrlHandler and applicable handler function, using ctypes.

subprocess also gets another attribute which is a necessary flag to
creationflags in Popen in order to send the CTRL events.

*ReflectionKey functions used to not be documented or tested, but they are

Additionally, fixed a bug in QueryReflectionKey which was returning an
incorrect value.

All tests pass from XP through Windows 7, on 32 and 64-bit platforms.
