[issue10882] Add os.sendfile()

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Please note that on FreeBSD things work a little bit differently for non-blocking sockets:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sendfile&sektion=2

In details I'm talking about:

> When using a socket marked for non-blocking I/O, sendfile() may send
> fewer bytes than requested.  In this case, the number of bytes 
> success-fully written is returned in *sbytes (if specified), and the 
> error EAGAIN is returned.

...and the similar note about EBUSY, later in the page.
Something like this should work:


ret = sendfile(in, out, offset, &sbytes, &sf, flags);

...

if (ret == -1) {
    if ((errno == EAGAIN) || (errno == EBUSY)) {
        return Py_BuildValue("ll", sbytes, offset + sbytes);
    } 
    return posix_error();
}
