[issue10882] Add os.sendfile()

[Ross Lagerwall]

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall at gmail.com> added the comment:

Attached is a new sendfile patch which fixes the issue with FreeBSD (and Mac OS X & DragonFly BSD from what I can see).

With regards to anacrolix's request, I think what Martin said in msg126049. i.e. if we want to provide a unifying layer on top of sendfile we can, but this should just expose sendfile() as is.
