[issue25156] shutil.copyfile should internally use os.sendfile when possible

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I'm not at all sure this is worth the maintenance burden at this point in time.  So let's say I'm -0.5.  I agree that a review and opinion by someone more familiar with the API would be best.  I'm adding gps as nosy since this feels like the kind of performance improvement he might find interesting, so if he thinks it is worth it I'll change my vote :)

----------
nosy: +gps
