Summary: os.P_* constants poorly documented

Initial Comment:
The P_* constants in the os module are not well documented:

    Possible values for the mode parameter to spawnv()
    and spawnve().

Since these constants originated in the Windows spawn* functions, they are not likely to be well-understood outside that environment.  P_WAIT and P_NOWAIT have obvious meanings, but the others are unclear (at least to me).
