[doc] Make subprocess.wait doc more precise An active loop is only used when the `timeout` parameter is used on POSIX. When no timeout is used, the code calls `os.waitpid` internally (which puts the process on a sleep status). On Windows, the internal Windows API call accepts a timeout parameter, so that is delegated to the OS. (cherry picked from commit 81ab0e8) Co-authored-by: Luis Pedro Coelho <luis@luispedro.org>

[doc] Make subprocess.wait doc more precise
An active loop is only used when the
timeoutparameter is used onPOSIX.
When no timeout is used, the code calls
os.waitpidinternally (which putsthe process on a sleep status). On Windows, the internal Windows API
call accepts a timeout parameter, so that is delegated to the OS.
