* bpo-35493: Use Process.sentinel instead of sleeping for polling worker status in multiprocessing.Pool

* Use self-pipe pattern to avoid polling for changes

* Refactor some variable names and add comments

* Restore timeout and poll

* Use reader object only on wait()

* Recompute worker sentinels every time

* Remove timeout and use change notifier

* Refactor some methods to be overloaded by the ThreadPool, document the cache class and fix typos

* Added tests for shared_memory submodule.

* Added tests for ShareableList.

* Fix bug in allocationn size during creation of empty ShareableList illuminated by existing test run on Linux.

* Initial set of docs for shared_memory module.

* Added docs for ShareableList, added doctree entry for shared_memory submodule, name refactoring for greater clarity.

* Added examples to SharedMemoryManager docs, for ease of documentation switched away from exclusively registered functions to some explicit methods on SharedMemoryManager.

* Wording tweaks to docs.

* Fix test failures on Windows.

* Added tests around SharedMemoryManager.

* Documentation tweaks.

* Fix inappropriate test on Windows.

* Further documentation tweaks.

* Fix bare exception.

* Removed __copyright__.

* Fixed typo in doc, removed comment.

* Updated SharedMemoryManager preliminary tests to reflect change of not supporting all registered functions on SyncManager.

* Added Sphinx doctest run controls.

* CloseHandle should be in a finally block in case MapViewOfFile fails.

* Missed opportunity to use with statement.

* Switch to self.addCleanup to spare long try/finally blocks and save one indentation, change to use decorator to skip test instead.

* Simplify the posixshmem extension module.

Provide shm_open() and shm_unlink() functions.  Move other
functionality into the shared_memory.py module.

* Added to doc around size parameter of SharedMemory.

* Changed PosixSharedMemory.size to use os.fstat.

* Change SharedMemory.buf to a read-only property as well as NamedSharedMemory.size.

* Marked as provisional per PEP411 in docstring.

* Changed SharedMemoryTracker to be private.

* Removed registered Proxy Objects from SharedMemoryManager.

* Removed shareable_wrap().

* Removed shareable_wrap() and dangling references to it.

* For consistency added __reduce__ to key classes.

* Fix for potential race condition on Windows for O_CREX.

* Remove unused imports.

* Update access to kernel32 on Windows per feedback from eryksun.

* Moved kernel32 calls to _winapi.

* Removed ShareableList.copy as redundant.

* Changes to _winapi use from eryksun feedback.

* Adopt simpler SharedMemory API, collapsing PosixSharedMemory and WindowsNamedSharedMemory into one.

* Fix missing docstring on class, add test for ignoring size when attaching.

* Moved SharedMemoryManager to managers module, tweak to fragile test.

* Tweak to exception in OpenFileMapping suggested by eryksun.

* Mark a few dangling bits as private as suggested by Giampaolo.

Changes in this commit:

1. Use a _strong_ reference between the Pool and associated iterators
2. Rework PR #8450 to eliminate a cycle in the Pool.

There is no test in this commit because any test that automatically tests this behaviour needs to eliminate the pool before joining the pool to check that the pool object is garbaged collected/does not hang. But doing this will potentially leak threads and processes (see https://bugs.python.org/issue35413).

After reading __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ we now set sys._base_executable value for later use.
Make the same changes for macOS to avoid extra platform checks.

Added shared_memory submodule to multiprocessing in time for first alpha with cross-platform tests soon to follow.

multiprocessing.Pool destructor now emits ResourceWarning
if the pool is still running.
