bpo-33671: efficient zero-copy for shutil.copy* functions (Linux, OSX and Win) (#7160)
* have shutil.copyfileobj use sendfile() if possible
* refactoring: use ctx manager
* add test with non-regular file obj
* emulate case where file size can't be determined
* reference _copyfileobj_sendfile directly
* add test for offset() at certain position
* add test for empty file
* add test for non regular file dst
* small refactoring
* leave copyfileobj() alone in order to not introduce any incompatibility
* minor refactoring
* remove old test
* update docstring
* update docstring; rename exception class
* detect platforms which only support file to socket zero copy
* don't run test on platforms where file-to-file zero copy is not supported
* use tempfiles
* reset verbosity
* add test for smaller chunks
* add big file size test
* add comment
* update doc
* update whatsnew doc
* update doc
* catch Exception
* remove unused import
* add test case for error on second sendfile() call
* turn docstring into comment
* add one more test
* update comment
* add Misc/NEWS entry
* get rid of COPY_BUFSIZE; it belongs to another PR
* update doc
* expose posix._fcopyfile() for OSX
* merge from linux branch
* merge from linux branch
* expose fcopyfile
* arg clinic for the win implementation
* convert path type to path_t
* expose CopyFileW
* fix windows tests
* release GIL
* minor refactoring
* update doc
* update comment
* update docstrings
* rename functions
* rename test classes
* update doc
* update doc
* update docstrings and comments
* avoid do import nt|posix modules if unnecessary
* set nt|posix modules to None if not available
* micro speedup
* update description
* add doc note
* use better wording in doc
* rename function using 'fastcopy' prefix instead of 'zerocopy'
* use :ref: in rst doc
* change wording in doc
* add test to make sure sendfile() doesn't get called aymore in case it doesn't support file to file copies
* move CopyFileW in _winapi and actually expose CopyFileExW instead
* fix line endings
* add tests for mode bits
* add docstring
* remove test file mode class; let's keep it for later when Istart addressing OSX fcopyfile() specific copies
* update doc to reflect new changes
* update doc
* adjust tests on win
* fix argument clinic error
* update doc
* OSX: expose copyfile(3) instead of fcopyfile(3); also expose flags arg to python
* osx / copyfile: use path_t instead of char
* do not set dst name in the OSError exception in order to remain consistent with platforms which cannot do that (e.g. linux)
* add same file test
* add test for same file
* have osx copyfile() pre-emptively check if src and dst are the same, otherwise it will return immedialtey and src file content gets deleted
* turn PermissionError into appropriate SameFileError
* expose ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION in order to raise more appropriate SameFileError
* honour follow_symlinks arg when using CopyFileEx
* update Misc/NEWS
* expose CreateDirectoryEx mock
* change C type
* CreateDirectoryExW actual implementation
* provide specific makedirs() implementation for win
* fix typo
* skeleton for SetNamedSecurityInfo
* get security info for src path
* finally set security attrs
* add unit tests
* mimick os.makedirs() behavior and raise if dst dir exists
* set 2 paths for OSError object
* set 2 paths for OSError object
* expand windows test
* in case of exception on os.sendfile() set filename and filename2 exception attributes
* set 2 filenames (src, dst) for OSError in case copyfile() fails on OSX
* update doc
* do not use CreateDirectoryEx() in copytree() if source dir is a symlink (breaks test_copytree_symlink_dir); instead just create a plain dir and remain consistent with POSIX implementation
* use bytearray() and readinto()
* use memoryview() with bytearray()
* refactoring + introduce a new _fastcopy_binfileobj() fun
* remove CopyFileEx and other C wrappers
* remove code related to CopyFileEx
* Recognize binary files in copyfileobj()
...and use fastest _fastcopy_binfileobj() when possible
* set 1MB copy bufsize on win; also add a global _COPY_BUFSIZE variable
* 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
