[issue29635] os.chdir() acts like `cd -P` by default, it should offer an option to not follow symlinks

I would like to believe in this, but then if `cd` is some bash internal, how does `/usr/bin/pwd -L` find it back?

Once I'll have figured out how all this is working, maybe. Not sure it would me in my competencies though.
