nedbat took issue with the phrasing "real module". I'm actually fine
with that phrasing, but I do think the `__future__` page should be clear
about the way in which the `__future__` module is special. (Yes, there
was a footnote linking to the future statements part of the reference,
but there should be upfront discussion).
I'm sympathetic to nedbat's claim that no one really cares about
`__future__._Feature`, so I've moved the interesting table up to the
top.
Add `ntpath.isreserved()`, which identifies reserved pathnames such as "NUL", "AUX" and "CON".
Deprecate `pathlib.PurePath.is_reserved()`.

In 49f90ba we added support for the recursive wildcard `**` in
`pathlib.PurePath.match()`. This should allow arbitrary prefix and suffix
matching, like `p.match('foo/**')` or `p.match('**/foo')`, but there's a
problem: for relative patterns only, `match()` implicitly inserts a `**`
token on the left hand side, causing all patterns to match from the right.
As a result, it's impossible to match relative patterns from the left:
`PurePath('foo/bar').match('bar/**')` is true!
This commit reverts the changes to `match()`, and instead adds a new
`full_match()` method that:
- Allows empty patterns
- Supports the recursive wildcard `**`
- Matches the *entire* path when given a relative pattern
`threading.Lock` is now the underlying class and is constructable rather than the old
factory function. This allows for type annotations to refer to it which had no non-ugly
way to be expressed prior to this.
