[docs] [issue25169] multiprocess documentation

New submission from John Taylor:

In the Windows Help File for Python 3.5:

17.2 multiprocessing
17.2.1.1 The Process class
2nd code example: "To show the individual process IDs involved, here is an expanded example"

def info(title):
    print(title)
    print('module name:', __name__)
    if hasattr(os, 'getppid'):  # only available on Unix
        print('parent process:', os.getppid())
    print('process id:', os.getpid())

os.getppid() is now available on Windows, so you can remove the if statement.
