(cherry picked from commit 8e568ef266a2805f9a6042003723d9c050830461)

Such functions as os.path.exists(), os.path.lexists(), os.path.isdir(),
os.path.isfile(), os.path.islink(), and os.path.ismount() now return False
instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes
unrepresentative at the OS level.

os.path.

Thanks to Jelle Zijlstra for the initial patch against posixmodule.c.

more helpful error message for unsupported or mismatched types of arguments.

By setting the st_dev attribute, we can then remove some Windows-specific
code and move os.path.samefile/sameopenfile/samestat to Lib/genericpath.py
so all platforms share the same implementation.
