Clean up the way IDLEfork handles termination of the subprocess, restore
ability to interrupt user code in Windows (so long as it's doing terminal
I/O).

1. Handle subprocess interrupts in Windows with an RPC message.
2. Run/F5 will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
3. Restart the subprocess if the link is dropped.
4. Exit IDLE cleanly even during I/O.
4. In rpc.py, remove explicit calls to statelock, let the condition
   variable handle acquire() and release().

Remove the usage of PyErr_WarnExplicit() since this could cause
sensitive information from the source files to appear in e.g.
log files.

use METH_NOARGS instead

Remove PyArg_ParseTuple() for methods which take no args,
use METH_NOARGS instead

Fix off-by-1 error in normalize_line_endings():
  when *p == '\0' the NUL was copied into q and q was auto-incremented,
  the loop was broken out of,
  then a newline was appended followed by a NUL.
  So the function, in effect, was strcpy() but added two extra chars
  which was caught by obmalloc in debug mode, since there was only
  room for 1 additional newline.

Get test working under regrtest (added test_main).

"copy anything to a data fork based resource file" trick of macresource.
Fixes #688007.

There was no test_main() and the main body was protected
by if __name__ == '__main__' so the test didn't happen
on import either.

at least, what I thought the intent was).

move definition of platform dependent path related variables from os.py
to platform dependent path modules (ntpath, etc).

- 'os2' references in ntpath.py relate to the VACPP port, not the EMX port;
- the VACPP port uses the same defpath as all other ntpath.py supported
  platforms except 'ce'.

the optional proto 2 slot state.

pickle.py, load_build():  CAUTION:  Noted that cPickle's
load_build and pickle's load_build really don't do the same
things with the state, and didn't before this patch either.
cPickle never tries to do .update(), and has no backoff if
instance.__dict__ can't be retrieved.  There are no tests
that can tell the difference, and part of what cPickle's
load_build() did looked accidental to me, so I don't know
what the true intent is here.

pickletester.py, test_pickle.py:  Got rid of the hack for
exempting cPickle from running some of the proto 2 tests.

  test_linuxaudiodev.py) are no longer run by default.  This is
  because they don't always work, depending on your hardware and
  software.  To run these tests, you must use an invocation like
    ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u audio test_ossaudiodev

fixed various lurking bugs.

Renamed hook methods to use the double underscore convention.

Restored a Py2.2 behavior to not range check the day of the month.
A user application was this exploiting undocumented, accidental "feature".
