Issue #6559: fix the subprocess.Popen pass_fds implementation. Add a unittest.
Issue #7213: Change the close_fds default on Windows to better match the new default on POSIX. True when possible (False if stdin/stdout/stderr are supplied). Update the documentation to reflect all of the above.

+ error handles are provided.
