Delete an entire directory tree. If \var{ignore_errors} is true,
errors will be ignored; if false or omitted, errors are handled by
calling a handler specified by \var{onerror} or raise an exception.
errors resulting from failed removals will be ignored; if false or
omitted, such errors are handled by calling a handler specified by
\var{onerror} or, if that is omitted, they raise an exception.
If \var{onerror} is provided, it must be a callable that accepts
three parameters: \var{function}, \var{path}, and \var{excinfo}.
