[issue8523] shutil.rmtree and os.listdir cannot recover on error conditions

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I think this patch looks good, but it needs a documentation update to go with it.  Do you want to work on that, Andrew?

It also seems as though there's no bug that it is practical to fix here, so I'm changing this to a pure enhancement request.  If anyone disagrees with that, please describe what you think the appropriate bug fix is, and we can break the enhancement request out into a separate issue.
