[issue1669] shutil.rmtree fails on symlink, after deleting contents

Sure. I am ok with using 'onerror'. The point I am trying to make is
that there is slight difference between 'onerror' in this case and in
the three other places where it is called. In the case of symlink,
rmtree() returns even when 'onerror' doesn't raise exception. This is
not same in the other cases where rmtree() continues. I am just
wondering if this inconsistency is worth it and if it is, an explicit
mention in the doc will be nice.
