* move CopyFileW in _winapi and actually expose CopyFileExW instead
* fix line endings
* add tests for mode bits
* add docstring
* remove test file mode class; let's keep it for later when Istart addressing OSX fcopyfile() specific copies
* update doc to reflect new changes
* update doc
* adjust tests on win
* fix argument clinic error
* update doc
* OSX: expose copyfile(3) instead of fcopyfile(3); also expose flags arg to python
* osx / copyfile: use path_t instead of char
* do not set dst name in the OSError exception in order to remain consistent with platforms which cannot do that (e.g. linux)
* add same file test
* add test for same file
* have osx copyfile() pre-emptively check if src and dst are the same, otherwise it will return immedialtey and src file content gets deleted
* turn PermissionError into appropriate SameFileError
* expose ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION in order to raise more appropriate SameFileError

* expand windows test
* in case of exception on os.sendfile() set filename and filename2 exception attributes
* set 2 filenames (src, dst) for OSError in case copyfile() fails on OSX
* update doc
* do not use CreateDirectoryEx() in copytree() if source dir is a symlink (breaks test_copytree_symlink_dir); instead just create a plain dir and remain consistent with POSIX implementation
* use bytearray() and readinto()
* use memoryview() with bytearray()
* refactoring + introduce a new _fastcopy_binfileobj() fun
* remove CopyFileEx and other C wrappers
* remove code related to CopyFileEx
* Recognize binary files in copyfileobj()
...and use fastest _fastcopy_binfileobj() when possible
* set 1MB copy bufsize on win; also add a global _COPY_BUFSIZE variable
* use ctx manager for memoryview()
* update doc
* remove outdated doc
* remove last CopyFileEx remnants
* OSX - use fcopyfile(3) instead of copyfile(3)
...as an extra safety measure: in case src/dst are "exotic" files (non
regular or living on a network fs etc.) we better fail on open() instead
of copyfile(3) as we're not quite sure what's gonna happen in that
case.
* update doc
