copyfile: add an optional parameter to copy other stat data

Contrary to the comment, I didn't see any evidence that we were copying
atime/mtime at all. This adds a parameter to copyfile to optionally copy it and
other stat data, with the default being to not copy it.

Many systems don't support changing the timestamp of a symlink, but we don't
need that in general anyway -- copystat is mostly useful for editors, most of
which will dereference symlinks anyway.

# A portable replacement for 'seq'
#
# Usage:
#   seq STOP              [1, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STOP        [START, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STEP STOP   [START, STOP] stepping by STEP

import sys

start = 1
if len(sys.argv) > 2:
    start = int(sys.argv[1])

step = 1
if len(sys.argv) > 3:
    step = int(sys.argv[2])

stop = int(sys.argv[-1]) + 1

for i in xrange(start, stop, step):
    print i
