[issue5673] Add timeout option to subprocess.Popen

[Reid Kleckner]

When I ported the patch I tested on trunk + Windows to py3k, I messed that stuff up.  I also had to fix a bunch of str vs. bytes issues this time around.  On Windows, it uses TextIOWrapper to do the encoding, and on POSIX it uses os.write, so I have to do the encoding myself.  :p

This patch has been tested on Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.5.
