Clean up the way IDLEfork handles termination of the subprocess, restore
ability to interrupt user code in Windows (so long as it's doing terminal
I/O).
1. Handle subprocess interrupts in Windows with an RPC message.
2. Run/F5 will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
3. Restart the subprocess if the link is dropped.
4. Exit IDLE cleanly even during I/O.
4. In rpc.py, remove explicit calls to statelock, let the condition
variable handle acquire() and release().

+What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 3?
+===================================
+
+*Release date: xx-xxx-2003*
+
+- Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O
+
+- Handle subprocess interrupt in Windows with an RPC message.
+
+- Calling Run will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
+
+- Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that)
+
+- Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the
+ exception formatting to the subprocess.
+
+- Known issues:
+
+ + Can't kill/restart a tight loop in the Windows version: add
+ I/O to the loop or use the Task Manager to kill the subprocess.
+ + Typing two Control-C in close succession when the subprocess is busy can
+ cause IDLE to lose communication with the subprocess. Please type one
+ only and wait for the exception to complete.
+ + Printing under some versions of Linux may be problematic.
