[issue38906] copy2 doesn't copy metadata on Windows and MacOS

[Steve Dower]

As a general statement (I haven't taken the time yet to understand all the intricacies of this particular issue), I would prefer to see CopyFile used everywhere on Windows for the performance and reliability benefits. Perfect POSIX emulation here doesn't seem helpful.
