[issue1076515] shutil.move clobbers read-only files.

[Greg Roodt]

I believe this can be closed.

shutil.copyfile attempts to copy file contents from src to dst, so it makes sense for this to fail if dst is read-only.

shutil.move replaces the dst, which is permitted based on directory permissions.
