bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
Extended attributes can only be set on user-writeable files, but shutil previously
first chmod()ed the destination file to the source's permissions and then tried to
copy xattrs. This will cause failures if attempting to copy read-only files with
xattrs, as occurs with Git clones on Lustre FS.
shutil.which() and distutils.spawn.find_executable() now use
os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available instead of os.defpath, if the PATH
environment variable is not set.
Don't use os.confstr("CS_PATH") nor os.defpath if the PATH
environment variable is set to an empty string to mimick Unix 'which'
command behavior.
Changes:
* find_executable() now starts by checking for the executable in the
current working directly case. Add an explicit
"if not path: return None".
* Add tests for PATH='' (empty string), PATH=':' and for PATHEXT.
It is changed from 16KiB to 64KiB. The previous default value
is used since 1990.
coreutils chose 128 KiB as minimum buffer size for block device I/O.
But shutil.copyfileobj() can be used for non block devices.
So I choose more conservative value.
As my quick benchmark, performance difference between 64KiB and
128 KiB is up to ~5%. On the other hand, performance difference
between 32 KiB and 64 KiB can be more than 10% when file is fully
buffered.
This is why 64 KiB is rational value.
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.

* use ctx manager for memoryview()
* update doc
* remove outdated doc
* remove last CopyFileEx remnants
* OSX - use fcopyfile(3) instead of copyfile(3)
...as an extra safety measure: in case src/dst are "exotic" files (non
regular or living on a network fs etc.) we better fail on open() instead
of copyfile(3) as we're not quite sure what's gonna happen in that
case.
* update doc
Imporoved the documentation and tests for make_archive() and unpack_archive().
Improved error handling when corresponding compress module is not available.
Brake circular dependency between shutil and tarfile modules.

Issue #26801: Fix error handling in shutil.get_terminal_size(), catch
AttributeError instead of NameError. Patch written by Emanuel Barry.
test_shutil: skip the functional test using "stty size" command if
os.get_terminal_size() is missing.
An exception handler assumed that that OSError objects always have a
'winerror' attribute. That is not the case, so the exception handler
itself raised AttributeError when run on Linux (and, presumably, any
other non-Windows OS).
