[New-bugs-announce] [issue15154] remove "rmdir" argument from os.unlink, add "dir_fd" to os.rmdir

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

As Antoine noted in #14626, the "rmdir" argument to os.unlink doesn't really make sense since we already deviate from just mapping posix functionality one-on-one.

Attached is a patch removing "rmdir" from os.unlink, and instead adding "dir_fd" to os.rmdir.
