[issue6389] os.chmod() documentation refers to non-existent documentation in stat

[Michael]

New submission from Michael <mhearne808 at yahoo.com>:

If you look at the documentation for os.chmod(), it says:
"mode may take one of the following values (as defined in the stat
module)..."

and then lists a number of constants from the stat module (stat.S_ISUID,
stat.S_ISGID, etc.)

I cannot seem to find these constants defined anywhere on the stat
module page.  May I suggest that these constants be defined in the
documentation for os.chmod(), to make it easier on the user?
