Issue #14626: Large refactoring of functions / parameters in the os module.
Many functions now support "dir_fd" and "follow_symlinks" parameters; some also support accepting an open file descriptor in place of of a path string. Added os.support_* collections as LBYL helpers. Removed many functions only previously seen in 3.3 alpha releases (often starting with "f" or "l", or ending with "at"). Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka; implemented by Larry Hastings.
