[issue40497] subprocess.check_output() accept the check keyword argument

I thought about raising ValueError instead but `subprocess.check_output([...], check=False)` is actually a convenient shortcut over `subprocess.run([...], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout` and I can't think of much drawbacks if someone explicitly ask for the check to be disabled. Is there any way we could have that?
