[issue8405] Improve test_os._kill (failing on slow machines)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I like this version of the patch better.  Is there any reason not to drop the initial sleep(0.5) and loop 10 times instead?  Any place we can cut down the sleeps so the test suite runs faster on fast machines is good.

As someone else said, it *ought* to be possible to do this without ctypes.  I'll see if I can find some time to play a few subprocess games on my windows KVM instance.
