[3.9] bpo-42146: Fix memory leak in subprocess.Popen() in case of uid/gid overflow (GH-22966) (GH-22980)
Fix memory leak in subprocess.Popen() in case of uid/gid overflow Also add a test that would catch this leak with `--huntrleaks`. Alas, the test for `extra_groups` also exposes an inconsistency in our error reporting: we use a custom ValueError for `extra_groups`, but propagate OverflowError for `user` and `group`. (cherry picked from commit c0590c0033e86f98cdf5f2ca6898656f98ab4053) Co-authored-by: Alexey Izbyshev <izbyshev@ispras.ru> Automerge-Triggered-By: GH:gpshead
