[New-bugs-announce] [issue21322] Pathlib .owner() and .group() methods fail on broken links

[Iñigo Serna]

New submission from Iñigo Serna:

Pathlib .owner() and .group() methods fail on broken symlinks.

They use:
    return pwd.getpwuid(self.stat().st_uid).pw_name
and:
    return grp.getgrgid(self.stat().st_gid).gr_name

It should be self.lstat().

Attached simple fix as unified diff.
