[issue13841] multiprocessing should use sys.exit() where possible

[sbt]

sbt <shibturn at gmail.com> added the comment:

Currently, on both Windows and Unix, when the main thread of a child process exits:

* atexit callbacks are NOT run (although multiprocessing.util._exit_function IS run),

* the main thread does NOT wait for non-daemonic background threads.

A simple replacement of ExitProcess() by sys.exit() would change this.  Whether that would be a good thing, I don't know.
