Antoine Pitrou 5311c1d7ab Issue #13772: In os.symlink() under Windows, do not try to guess the link
target's type (file or directory).  The detection was buggy and made the
call non-atomic (therefore prone to race conditions).

Éric Araujo 9cff42736d Hide or remove user-visible XXX notes from distutils doc (#13716).
Requested by Florent Xicluna with the rationale that they make the docs
look unfinished.  I’ve also removed a few XXX notes that were not
visible in the HTML but could waste contributors’ time by suggesting
improvements that are never going to happen for distutils.

Éric Araujo 58a9153c9f Fix markup used in the documentation of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix.
- Using the file role with {placeholders} is IMO clearer than fake

- The fact that sys.version[:3] gives '3.2' is a CPython detail and
  should not be advertised (see #9442), even if some stdlib modules
  currently rely on that detail.

“virtual” and links to the abc module doc which contains more mentions
of virtual subclasses.

Éric Araujo 543edbdab8 Don’t quote characters twice.
``code`` markup is enough to mark command-line fragments or to talk
about a character.  ``'c'`` is still used for actual Python string
objects.  I did a similar change in optparse.rst in r86521.

I’ve also ported two minor changes from the 3.3 version of the file
(removing an unnecessary module name in a class directive, adding a
comma).

I made the doc for the compat alias BadZipfile shorter and used a

I figured there was no point of talking about zipfile.error (“the old
name” that’s older than the other old name BadZipfile) in the 3.x docs
so I just removed it.
