test_parser and test_posixpath fixed

Add new action items (bugs with priority higher than 7 are for 2.0b1)
popen2 support (/F)
mark many action items as done
remove SyntaxError enhancements as accepted (Guido didn't like it and
    /F didn't think he was doing it).
shorten descriptions of other open tasks that have patches associated
