[issue4489] shutil.rmtree is vulnerable to a symlink attack

[Hynek Schlawack]

Hynek Schlawack <hs at ox.cx> added the comment:

I've implemented a _safe_rmtree which gets used if os.fwalk() and os.unlinkat() are available.

Test suite still passes in regression mode both on Mac (= no effect) and Linux.

Let me know if I missed something.
