GH-73991: Rework pathlib.Path.copytree() into copy() (#122369)

Browse source 
Rename `pathlib.Path.copy()` to `_copy_file()` (i.e. make it private.)

Rename `pathlib.Path.copytree()` to `copy()`, and add support for copying
non-directories. This simplifies the interface for users, and nicely
complements the upcoming `move()` and `delete()` methods (which will also
accept any type of file.)

* Add methods to :class:`pathlib.Path` to recursively copy or remove files:
* :meth:`~pathlib.Path.copy` copies the content of one file to another, like
:func:`shutil.copyfile`.
* :meth:`~pathlib.Path.copytree` copies one directory tree to another, like
:func:`shutil.copytree`.
* :meth:`~pathlib.Path.copy` copies a file or directory tree to a given
destination.
* :meth:`~pathlib.Path.delete` removes a file or directory tree.
