bpo-36046: Add user and group parameters to subprocess (GH-11950)
* subprocess: Add user, group and extra_groups paremeters to subprocess.Popen This adds a `user` parameter to the Popen constructor that will call setreuid() in the child before calling exec(). This allows processes running as root to safely drop privileges before running the subprocess without having to use a preexec_fn. This also adds a `group` parameter that will call setregid() in the child process before calling exec(). Finally an `extra_groups` parameter was added that will call setgroups() to set the supplimental groups.
