The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
This makes `ntpath.expanduser()` match `pathlib.Path.expanduser()` in this regard, and is more in line with `posixpath.expanduser()`'s cautious approach.
Also remove the near-duplicate implementation of `expanduser()` in pathlib, and by doing so fix a bug where KeyError could be raised when expanding another user's home directory.
Ensure isabs() is always True for \\?\ prefixed paths
Avoid unnecessary usage of readlink() to avoid resolving broken links incorrectly
Ensure shutil tests run in test directory
Such functions as os.path.exists(), os.path.lexists(), os.path.isdir(),
os.path.isfile(), os.path.islink(), and os.path.ismount() now return False
instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes
unrepresentative at the OS level.
* splitunc() no more return illegal result for paths with redundant slashes.
* splitunc() now correctly processes the 'İ' character
(U+0130, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE).
* Deprecation warnings now emitted for every use of splitunc().
* Added tests for splitunc().

By setting the st_dev attribute, we can then remove some Windows-specific
code and move os.path.samefile/sameopenfile/samestat to Lib/genericpath.py
so all platforms share the same implementation.
Rather than wrapping the C _isdir function in a Python function,
just import the C _isdir function directly. Additionally, add in the
docstring which was left out.
By changing to the Windows GetFileAttributes API in nt._isdir we can figure
out if the path is a directory without opening the file via os.stat. This has
the minor benefit of speeding up os.path.isdir by at least 2x for regular
files and 10-15x improvements were seen on symbolic links (which opened the
file multiple times during os.stat). Since os.path.isdir is used in
several places on interpreter startup, we get a minor speedup in startup time.
