[issue40972] Add a recurse flag to Path.rmdir()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

This is virtually a duplicate of issue33498.

shutil.rmtree() is very complex function. It is not trivial task to remove directories and files recursively in safe and efficient way. It needs also a way to customize errors handling. We do not want to duplicate all this code in pathlib if shutil.rmtree() already supports path-like objects.
