Éric Araujo 3cf202e957 Ignore .nfs* files in distutils (#7719).
These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed
concurrently (see added link in doc for more info).  If such a file is
removed between distutils calls listdir and copy, it will get confused.
Other special files are ignored in sdist (namely VCS directories), but
this has to be filtered out earlier.

Hynek Schlawack d68ffdb45a Restore [] where default arguments are not keywords
Reverts some changes of a36666c52115.

In the case of os's `mknod(filename[, mode=0600[, device=0]])`, I have nested
the [] as setting mode doesn't require to set device (but setting device
requires to set mode).
