[docs] [issue20344] subprocess.check_output() docs misrepresent what shell=True does

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Can you suggest a better phrasing that is still succinct? (Maybe just 'appear to be executed' would make it accurate enough?)  But, that's why there needs to be a reference of *some* sort to the full explanation.

I'm not sure what the issue is with iterable/sequence.  check_output/Popen accepts an iterable.
