[issue42481] Add to pathlib function to check permission similar to os.access

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

A word of warning: os.access() is not a good and sufficient permission check. It only checks DAC (discrete access control) permissions and suffers from TOCTOU issues. Operating systems have additional permission checks and security policies, for example  mandatory access control (AppArmor, SELinux, Smack) and seccomp.
