Summary: P_DETACH advertised but not supported

Details: The os documentation (os-process.html) describes a P_DETACH mode for use with spawnv, which it says became available in version 1.52.  However, using version 2.0 on Windows, there is no such name in the os module and looking at the code in os.py, P_DETACH doesn't seem to be supported at all.  Did that feature go away? ever exist? hiding in an unspecified namespace? In any case, the docs and the code should be in sync.
