[issue20761] os.path.join doesn't strip LF or CR

But they can be part of a filename, at least on POSIX systems. Are you proposing that only the Windows version of os.path.join strip LF/CR? 

I don't think that it up to the join function to validate the path, and certainly not to modify the substrings. Would you expect it to complain about this? os.path.join('/', 'AUX')? (AUX is a reserved name and forbidden for file names under Windows.)

I don't think it is up to join to validate that the path generated is legal, so I don't think this is a bug in join.
