bpo-33721: Make some os.path functions and pathlib.Path methods be tolerant to invalid paths. (#7695)

Such functions as os.path.exists(), os.path.lexists(), os.path.isdir(),
os.path.isfile(), os.path.islink(), and os.path.ismount() now return False
instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes
unrepresentative at the OS level.

Concrete paths provide the following methods in addition to pure paths
methods. Many of these methods can raise an :exc:`OSError` if a system
