[issue20572] subprocess.Popen.wait() undocumented "endtime" parameter

Larry Hastings added the comment:

My suggestion for documenting it was to document the fact that it's unsupported, unrecommended, deprecated, has poor semantics, etc.  If a user discovers it, and finds it's not documented, they'll probably think they can get away with using it.  If we explicitly document it as "don't use" I think that's better.
