* docs: tiny grammar change: "pointed by" -> "pointed to by"
This commit uses "file pointed to by" to replace "file pointed by" in
- doc for shutil.copytree
- docstring for shutil.copytree
- docstring _abc.PathBase.open
- docstring for pathlib.Path.open
- doc for os.copy_file_range
- doc for os.splice
The docs use "file pointed to by" more frequently than
"file pointed by". So, this commit replaces the uses of
"file pointed by" in order to make the uses consistent
through the docs.
```bash
$ grep -ri 'pointed to by' cpython/
```
yields more results than
```bash
$ grep -ri 'pointed by' cpython/
```
Separately:
There are two occurrences of "tree pointed by":
- cpython/Doc/library/xml.etree.elementtree.rst for
`xml.etree.ElementInclude.include`
- cpython/Lib/xml/etree/ElementInclude.py for `include`
For those uses of "tree pointed by", I expect "tree pointed to by"
instead. However, I found enough uses online of (a) "tree pointed by"
rather than (b) "tree pointed to by" to convince me that (a) is in
common use.
So, this commit does not replace those occurrences of "tree pointed by"
to "tree pointed to by". But I will replace them if a reviewer
believes it is correct to replace them.
* docs: typo: "exists and executable" -> "exists and is executable"

* Expand the 'Extending' docs to provide a minimal example. Closespython/importlib_metadata#427.

The `argument_list` parameter of bdb.Bdb.user_call has been useless for 25 years. It is retained for backwards compatibility, but it will always be None.
* Add name and mode attributes for compressed and archived file-like objects
in modules bz2, lzma, tarfile and zipfile.
* Change the value of the mode attribute of GzipFile from integer (1 or 2)
to string ('rb' or 'wb').
* Change the value of the mode attribute of ZipExtFile from 'r' to 'rb'.
Tarfile.addfile now throws an ValueError when the user passes
in a non-zero size tarinfo but does not provide a fileobj,
instead of writing an incomplete entry.
The implementation uses 'ptr' for the name of the first parameter of
ctypes.string_at() and ctypes.wstring_at(). Align docs and docstrings
with the naming used in the implementation.

Since 6258844c, paths that might not exist can be fed into pathlib's
globbing implementation, which will call `os.scandir()` / `os.lstat()` only
when strictly necessary. This allows us to drop an initial `self.is_dir()`
call, which saves a `stat()`.

rfc9110 obsoletes the earlier rfc 7231. This document also includes some
status codes that were previously only used for WebDAV and assigns more
generic names to these status codes.
ref: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-changes-from-rfc-7231
- http.HTTPStatus.CONTENT_TOO_LARGE (413, previously
REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE)
- http.HTTPStatus.URI_TOO_LONG (414, previously REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG)
- http.HTTPStatus.RANGE_NOT_SATISFYABLE (416, previously
REQUEST_RANGE_NOT_SATISFYABLE)
- http.HTTPStatus.UNPROCESSABLE_CONTENT (422, previously
UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)
The new constants are added to http.HTTPStatus and the old constant names are
preserved for backwards compatibility.
References in documentation to the obsoleted rfc 7231 are updated
I think the choice of wording in these docs is great and doesn't
need to change. However, it could be useful to explicitly define
this term / the cost of doing so seems relatively low.
gh-16429 introduced support for an iterable of separators in
Stream.readuntil. Since bytes-like types are themselves iterable, this
can introduce ambiguities in deciding whether the argument is an
iterator of separators or a singleton separator. In gh-16429, only 'bytes'
was considered a singleton, but this will break code that passes other
buffer object types.
Fix it by only supporting tuples rather than arbitrary iterables.
Closes gh-117722.
