bpo-30420: List cwd parameter in subprocess convenience APIs (GH-1685)
Partially clarify the subprocess convenience API documentation by explicitly listing the `cwd` parameter in their abbreviated signatures. While this has been merged as an improvement, it doesn't fully resolve the issue, as the `cwd` should also be covered in the "Frequently Used Arguments" section, and the fact these APIs pass unlisted keyword arguments down to the lower level APIs is currently still unclear.
