[issue39950] Add pathlib.Path.hardlink_to()

A question:

For my patch, I need to include a Python version where `Path.link_to()` will become unavailable. I'm not entirely sure how this should be determined. Some factors in play:

- `link_to()` was added in Python 3.8
- On github, I found these three repos which use `link_to()`:
  - https://github.com/akubera/pion-analysis
  - https://github.com/DailyDreaming/load-project
  - https://github.com/eight04/vpip

Can anyone suggest in which version of Python this function should be removed? Thanks.
