[issue37701] shutil.copyfile raises SpecialFileError for symlink to fifo

> I expect it to fail if follow_symlinks is True, which is the default value. I expect it to succeed with follow_symlinks=False, which should create a shallow copy of just the symlink, regardless of its target.

I agree, thanks for the correction.
