Per feedback from Paul Moore on GH-123158, it's better to defer making
`Path.delete()` public than ship it with under-designed error handling
capabilities.
We leave a remnant `_delete()` method, which is used by `move()`. Any
functionality not needed by `move()` is deleted.
These two methods accept an *existing* directory path, onto which we join
the source path's base name to form the final target path.
A possible alternative implementation is to check for directories in
`copy()` and `move()` and adjust the target path, which is done in several
`shutil` functions. This behaviour is helpful in a shell context, but
less so in a stored program that explicitly specifies destinations. For
example, a user that calls `Path('foo.py').copy('bar.py')` might not
imagine that `bar.py/foo.py` would be created, but under the alternative
implementation this will happen if `bar.py` is an existing directory.
Add a `Path.move()` method that moves a file or directory tree, and returns a new `Path` instance pointing to the target.
This method is similar to `shutil.move()`, except that it doesn't accept a *copy_function* argument, and it doesn't check whether the destination is an existing directory.

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.)

Return -1 and set an exception on error; return 0 if the iterator is
exhausted, and return 1 if the next item was fetched successfully.
Prefer this API to PyIter_Next(), which requires the caller to use
PyErr_Occurred() to differentiate between iterator exhaustion and errors.

## Encode header parts that contain newlines
Per RFC 2047:
> [...] these encoding schemes allow the
> encoding of arbitrary octet values, mail readers that implement this
> decoding should also ensure that display of the decoded data on the
> recipient's terminal will not cause unwanted side-effects
It seems that the "quoted-word" scheme is a valid way to include
a newline character in a header value, just like we already allow
undecodable bytes or control characters.
They do need to be properly quoted when serialized to text, though.
## Verify that email headers are well-formed
This should fail for custom fold() implementations that aren't careful
about newlines.

Add a `Path.rmtree()` method that removes an entire directory tree, like
`shutil.rmtree()`. The signature of the optional *on_error* argument
matches the `Path.walk()` argument of the same name, but differs from the
*onexc* and *onerror* arguments to `shutil.rmtree()`. Consistency within
pathlib is probably more important.
In the private pathlib ABCs, we add an implementation based on `walk()`.

They are alternate constructors which only accept numbers
(including objects with special methods __float__, __complex__
and __index__), but not strings.
