[issue12183] Document behaviour of shutil.copy2 and copystat with symlinks

[Ross Lagerwall]

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

Python 3.3 (as yet unreleased) supports the lutimes function:
  http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/os.html#os.lutimes
Python 2.7 is not getting any more features so it will not be added.

I'm changing the title to the second part of your question, documenting the behaviour of shutil.copy2 and copytree.
