[issue3177] implement os.startfile on posix and MacOSX

[Ram Rachum]

Eric, I have no problem with this function being placed in `shutil` instead of `os`, as long as it's implemented and it's in the standard library, and people don't have to use subprocess to run open or xdg-open themselves as I currently do.

So I have no problem with renaming this bug to "Add shutil.open".
