Windows does set the errno attribute to ENOENT, but the error message
displays the Windows error number (3 -> ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND), not the
errno number (2 -> ENOENT).
The Unix errno corresponding to 3 is ESRCH, explaining the confusion,
which can be seen in the following snippet:
>>> shutil.rmtree("foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "Z:\default\lib\shutil.py", line 272, in rmtree
onerror(os.listdir, path, sys.exc_info())
File "Z:\default\lib\shutil.py", line 270, in rmtree
names = os.listdir(path)
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
'foo\\*.*'
>>> e = sys.last_value
>>> e.errno
2
>>> e.winerror
3
>>> errno.errorcode[2]
'ENOENT'

* Use str.startswith(tuple): I didn't know this Python feature, Python rocks!
* Replace sometimes sys.platform.startswith('linux') with
sys.platform == 'linux'
* sys.platform doesn't contain the major version on Cygwin on Mac OS X
(it's just 'cygwin' and 'darwin')
with the `-m` (or `--match`) option. This works with all test cases
using the unittest module. This is useful with long test suites
such as test_io or test_subprocess.

We don't need to create a temporary buffered binary or text file object just to
create an empty file.
Replace also os.fdopen(handle).close() by os.close(handle).
regrtest doesn't check that tests doesn't write something to stdout anymore.
Don't replace sys.stdout by the original sys.stdout to be able to capture the
output for regrtest -W.

Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was
removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a
symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic
link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations.
Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat
code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to
properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).
the file descriptor of a pipe closed in the parent process is valid in the
child process according to fstat(), but the mode of the file descriptor is
invalid, and read or write raise an error.
test.support.requires_mac_ver() is now a decorator, as suggested by Ezio
Melotti, and its docstring is fixed (linux_version => mac_ver).

Add also requires_mac_ver() decorator to test.support.
