posix: update os.popen with subprocess (issue4746)

While importing a patch, we use a patch tool, say 'patch --merge', and the
patch doesn't merge cleanly, 'patch --merge' will return with exit status 1,
but 'hg import' displays 'abort: patch command failed: exited with status 256'.
This patch intends to replace the deprecated os.popen with subprocess.Popen
to return the correct output.
