Zsolt Cserna 861f61b5a9 [3.7] bpo-34260, shutil: fix copy2 and copystat documentation (GH-8523) (GH-10065)
Fix the documentation of copy2, as it does not copy file ownership (user and
group), only mode, mtime, atime and flags.

The original text was confusing to developers as it suggested that this
command is the same as 'cp -p', but according to cp(1), '-p' copies file
ownership as well.

Clarify which metadata is copied by shutil.copystat in its docstring.

(cherry picked from commit 4f399be0e7)
