[issue9939] Add a pipe type (FIFO) to the io module

[Daniel Stutzbach]

Daniel Stutzbach <daniel at stutzbachenterprises.com> added the comment:

Another option would be to have the read-end act like a non-blocking socket (i.e., raise EAGAIN).

Since it would mostly be for testing, would it make more sense to add it to test.support or someplace similar instead of io?
