[issue14662] shutil.move broken in 2.7.3 on OSX (chflags fails)

Thanks for the analysis.  Yes, it looks like there's a difference between OS X and current FreeBSDs, for example.  chflags(2) on the latter is documented as returning EOPNOTSUPP and on the former ENOTSUP. shutil should check for both.  A quick search of the source tree did not find any other users of chflags in the standard library. As far as adding other missing errnos, that could be handled as a separate issue as it more of an enhancement.  Anyone interested in contributing a patch for either or both?
