subprocess.Popen.communicate() doesn't catch EINTR error if it is called without timeout and if there is only one PIPE (stdout or stderr).

Attached patch fixes these cases. It may need a test.

I found this bug while working on test_signal, especially on the inter process signal tests.

Out of curiosity, how could SIGALRM be missing on a Unix system?
Maybe you mean something like
@unittest.skipUnless(hasattr(errno, EINTR),
                     "Requires errno.EINTR")

It is only missing on Windows.
