Many functions now support "dir_fd" and "follow_symlinks" parameters;
some also support accepting an open file descriptor in place of of a path
string. Added os.support_* collections as LBYL helpers. Removed many
functions only previously seen in 3.3 alpha releases (often starting with
"f" or "l", or ending with "at"). Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka;
implemented by Larry Hastings.
Removed futimens as it is now redundant.
Changed shutil.copystat to use st_atime_ns and st_mtime_ns from os.stat
and ns= parameter to utime--it once again preserves exact metadata on Linux!
and the source is a symlink, shutil.move() now recreates a symlink on the
destination instead of copying the file contents.
Patch by Jonathan Niehof and Hynek Schlawack.
When that parameter is true, symlinks aren't dereferenced and the operation
instead acts on the symlink itself (or creates one, if relevant).
Patch by Hynek Schlawack.
- Move a test from call time to define time
- Add the function name to __all__
- Improve docstring and docs
A few lines are now duplicated (named tuple definition and docstring)
but I think the end result reads better.

Issue #7512: shutil.copystat() could raise an OSError when the filesystem
didn't support chflags() (for example ZFS under FreeBSD). The error is
now silenced.

Issue #2047: shutil.move() could believe that its destination path was
inside its source path if it began with the same letters (e.g. "src" vs.
"src.new").
