Issue #25930: Document that os.unlink and os.remove are *semantically* identical. 

Saying that the functions were identical confused some users who were
upset when the functions were no longer simply the same function under
different names.

Thanks to Anthony Sottile for the bug report and Swati Jaiswal for the
initial patch.
