[issue8604] Alias for distutils.file_util.write_file in e.g. shutils

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at twistedmatrix.com> added the comment:

Considering that it's extremely difficult to implement this correctly and in a cross-platform way, I think it makes sense as a stdlib addition (though I'd add it as a method of a `path` type rather than to the "shell utilities" module ;).
