[issue14082] shutil doesn't support extended attributes

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

shutil doesn't provide any function which copies extended attributes on files. Note that "cp -a" does copy xattrs, but "cp -p" doesn't (and copy2() claims to work like "cp -p").
