use Popen instead of getstatusoutput to check for libedit. getstatusoutput uses os.popen, and is vulnerable to EINTR weirdness in environments such as gdb or PyQt. Exponential falloff is also used, to prevent waiting forever or firing requests too fast, though I haven't had it fire more than once after moving to Popen. closes gh-473

"""This decorator marks that a doctest should be skipped.
The IPython.testing.decorators module triggers various extra imports, including
numpy and sympy if they're present. Since this decorator is used in core parts
of IPython, it's in a separate module so that running IPython doesn't trigger
those imports."""
