[New-bugs-announce] [issue39950] Add pathlib.Path.hardlink_to()

[Barney Gale]

New submission from Barney Gale <barney.gale at gmail.com>:

Per bpo-39291, the argument order for `pathlib.Path.link_to()` is inconsistent with `symlink_to()` and its own documentation.

This ticket covers adding a new `hardlink_to()` method with the correct argument order, and deprecating `link_to()`.
