Added kill, terminate and send_signal to subprocess.Popen
The bits and pieces for the Windows side were already in place. The POSIX side is trivial (as usual) and uses os.kill().

Additional tests for math.pow, and extra special-case
handling code in math.pow, in the hope of making all
tests pass on the alpha Tru64 buildbot.

Additional special-case handling for math.pow.
Windows/VS2008 doesn't like (-1)**(+-inf).

Correct documentation for math.pow;
0**nan is nan, not 0. (But nan**0 and 1**nan are 1.)
Also fix minor typo: 'quite NaN' -> 'quiet NaN'

FreeBSD doesn't follow C99 for modf(inf); so add explicit
special-value handling to math.modf code.

Yet more explicit special case handling to make
math.pow behave on alpha Tru64. All IEEE 754
special values are now handled directly; only
the finite**finite case is handled by libm.

Issue 2662: Initialize special value tables dynamically (i.e. when
cmath module is loaded) instead of statically. This fixes compile-time
problems on platforms where HUGE_VAL is an extern variable rather than
a constant.
Thanks Hirokazu Yamamoto for the patch.
