Summary: add os.chflags() and os.lchflags() where available

Initial Comment:
The return value from os.stat() includes st_flags on some systems, but
currently there's not much that can be done with the value; this patch aims
to make st_flags useful by adding some associated constants to stat.py and
the corresponding chflags() and lchflags() functions in posixmodule. For
completeness, shutil.copystat() is also updated to call os.chflags() where
it's available.
