[docs] [issue27180] Doc/pathlib: Please describe the behaviour of Path().rename() is depends on the platform (same as os.rename())

[Masato HASHIMOTO]

New submission from Masato HASHIMOTO:

The behavior of Path().rename() is same as os.rename() (replaces silently if dest file is already existent on Unix) but it's difficult to catch from current pathlib documentation (I found it from source of pathlib) from comparing with replace().

IMHO, it should be described on pathlilb documentation.
