be more forgiving if follow_symlinks=False is not supported #1026

Closed samschott closed 3 months ago

samschott commented 3 months ago

If follow_symlinks=False is not supported for a file system call on the platform, either fall back to follow_symlinks=True, or skip the call if ok. In particular:

stat: Use Python's os.lstat, which always falls back to os.stat. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.lstat.
chmod: Don't call at all if follow_symlinks=False is not supported.
open: Don't pass O_NOFOLLOW is not available.

Fixes #890.
