Most important enhancements

Regression with keywords methods using wrapping decorators

If a keyword is implemented as a method in a class and the method is

decorated with a "wrapping decorator", keyword argument detection does

not work correctly with Robot Framework 3.2. A "wrapping decorator" is

a decorator that sets the `__wrapped__` attribute using `functools.wraps`__

or otherwise. For more details and a concrete example see issue `#3561`_.

This issue affects at least FakerLibrary__ and AppiumLibrary__.

Execution can crash if `stdin` is closed

Robot Framework 3.2 execution crashes if the standard input stream is

closed and additionally standard output and error streams are redirected.

An exception is Windows with Python 3.6 or newer. For details see `#3565`_.
