In module filecmp, the normal functions cmp and cmpfiles do have a
shallow attribute. But the dircmp class doesn't provide one, could we
add it in the constructor ?
In the implementation, it would only change the call to cmpfiles in def phase3 ?
It could be useful for performance (same reason, the "shallow"
parameter exists in the other two functions), when quickly comparing
two directories.
