Addpathlib.Path.fwalk() method, which behaves exactly likePath.walk() except that it yields a 4-tuple(dirpath, dirnames, filenames, dirfd), and it supports adir_fd.

This method provides safety from symlink attacks when walking directory trees; this is important for implementing functionality such asrmtree().
