Issue #14753: Make multiprocessing treat negative timeouts as it did in 3.2

In Python 3.2 and earlier, Process.join() and Connection.poll()
treated negative timeouts as zero timeouts.  Earlier versions from
the 3.3 line of development treat them as infinite timeouts.

The patch reverts to the old behaviour.
