Proof of concept extending super() to handle write access on descriptors.

Quite a few open points remain:
* Does one have to check via PyDescr_IsData before using the setfunc?
* What is the correct behaviour if the name is found but is not a descriptor?
* How should this interact with plain fields?

I'll happily work to resolve these points if this change is considered
worthwhile for Python proper.

Fix #7838. Add docstrings and privatize _subprocess implementation details.

Since CREATE_NEW_* are used for the creation flags of a subprocess, they
were added to __all__. The rest of the previously exposed attributes are
now qualified by _subprocess.ATTR rather than importing *.

from using their fds).
