  Speed up test_signal from ~24s to 4s by avoiding nearly all of the sleep calls.

  Try to fix test_signal breakages on Linux due to r61687. It appears that at
  least two of the linux build bots aren't leaving zombie processes around for
  os.waitpid to wait for, causing ECHILD errors. This would be a symptom of a bug
  somewhere, but probably not in signal itself.

  Mark the descitems in the tutorial as "noindex" so that :meth: cross-refs don't link to them.

  Try to fix test_signal on FreeBSD. I'm assuming that os.kill is failing to
  raise a signal, but switching to subprocess makes the code cleaner anyway.

  Speed test_threading up from 14s to .5s, and avoid a deadlock on certain
  failures. The test for enumerate-after-join is now a little less rigorous, but
  the bug it references says the error happened in the first couple iterations,
  so 100 iterations should still be enough.

  cProfile was useful for identifying the slow tests here.
