Summary: shutil.copytree documentation bug

Initial Comment:
The docstring for shutil.copytree (and corresponding
Python module docs) says:

    Error are reported to standard output.

which is no longer the case.  The function now throws
shutil.Error if an error occurs.

Also, the documentation uses the source code of
shutil.copytree as an example.  That example is now out
of date.  That is, the copytree function has changed,
but the example hasn't.
