Hynek Schlawack d68ffdb45a Restore [] where default arguments are not keywords
Reverts some changes of a36666c52115.

In the case of os's `mknod(filename[, mode=0600[, device=0]])`, I have nested
the [] as setting mode doesn't require to set device (but setting device
requires to set mode).

  #10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.

  Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
  fixes by me.

  I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
  the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
  stat/lstat system calls involved.  I also extended Michal's breakout
  of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
  the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
  better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.

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.
