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)
Added back mention that ensure_future actually scheduled obj. This documentation just mentions what ensure_future returns, so I did not realize that ensure_future also schedules obj.

The documented definition was much broader than the real one:
there are tons of characters with general category "Other",
and we don't (and shouldn't) treat most of them as whitespace.
Rewrite the definition to agree with the comment on
_PyUnicode_IsWhitespace, and with the logic in makeunicodedata.py,
which is what generates that function and so ultimately governs.
Add suitable breadcrumbs so that a reader who wants to pin down
exactly what this definition means (what's a "bidirectional class"
of "B"?) can do so. The `unicodedata` module documentation is an
appropriate central place for our references to Unicode's own copious
documentation, so point there.
Also add to the isspace() test a thorough check that the
implementation agrees with the intended definition.
Because mod, func, class, etc all share one namespace, :func:time creates a link to the time module doc page rather than the time.time function.

https://bugs.python.org/issue37814:
> The empty tuple syntax in type annotations, `Tuple[()]`, is not obvious from the examples given in the documentation (I naively expected `Tuple[]` to work); it has been documented in PEP 484 and in mypy, but not in the documentation for the typing module.

* bpo-32912: Revert warnings for invalid escape sequences.
DeprecationWarning will continue to be emitted for invalid escape sequences in string and bytes literals in 3.8 just as it did in 3.7.
SyntaxWarning may be emitted in the future. But per mailing list discussion, we don't yet know when because we haven't settled on how to do so in a non-disruptive manner.
* add a missing ``.. availability::`` reST explicit markup;
* more consistent "see man page" sentences.

Expose the CAN_BCM SocketCAN constants used in the bcm_msg_head struct
flags (provided by <linux/can/bcm.h>) under the socket library.
This adds the following constants with a CAN_BCM prefix:
* SETTIMER
* STARTTIMER
* TX_COUNTEVT
* TX_ANNOUNCE
* TX_CP_CAN_ID
* RX_FILTER_ID
* RX_CHECK_DLC
* RX_NO_AUTOTIMER
* RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME
* TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX
* RX_RTR_FRAME
* CAN_FD_FRAME
The CAN_FD_FRAME flag was introduced in the 4.8 kernel, while the other
ones were present since SocketCAN drivers were mainlined in 2.6.25. As
such, it is probably unnecessary to guard against these constants being
missing.

Prior to this change the guard on an 'elif' used an assignment expression whose value was used in a later 'else' block, causing some confusion for people.
