[issue22277] webbrowser.py add parameters to suppress output on stdout and stderr

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

It makes sense, but I'm not sure avoiding the extra import is sufficient motivation.  If you weren't allowing redirection it would be a different story, but allowing redirection seems logical.

We should get the opinion of some other developers.  I've added some people to nosy who have worked on subprocess and/or webbrowser in the not too distant past.

Note: a third option is to import DEVNULL into the webbrowser namespace.  That kind of redundancy feels suspect, but practicality might beat purity here.
