96b1c903f5 Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL: 
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
  will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
  argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
  default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
  os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
  can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
  the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.

This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

4dfb7a81c1 Explain that os.spawn*() return the process handle on Windows. 
Clarify that os.waitpid() on Windows takes a process handle, not a process ID.

ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux 
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows. 
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

938a8d723c Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*() 
functions to include information about how they affect the operation of
those functions when used as the "mode" parameter.
This closes SF bug #468384.

Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem.  These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.
