[issue14480] os.kill on Windows should accept zero as signal

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

> 0 has no special meaning on Windows so I'd rather not add another special case for posix emulation. Additionally, 0 unfortunately already means two things as it is: signal.CTRL_C_EVENT and the int 0.

I agree, it's not a good idea to support os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows. I reject the issue.

See also the issue #14484.
