[issue8110] subprocess.py doesn't correctly detect Windows machines

[Zachary Ware]

The real question isn't "are we on Windows?" but rather "should we use msvcrt/_winapi or _posixsubprocess/select?", which is what my PR is designed to better fit.  I could see how we wouldn't want to backport that patch to maintenance branches, though; it's a significant rearrangement.  If we do want to backport *a* fix, I agree that simply adding `or os.name == 'nt'` should be sufficiently low-impact.
