I'm working on a more specialized case of this for functools.lru_cache in 
bpo-issue44003.  But I believe this issue also makes sense.  It is basically 
suggesting that __defaults__ and __kwdefaults__ should be included in the 
default set of assigned= attributes that functools.update_wrapper applies.

The argument in favor of this is that it already has __annotations__ in the 
default set.  With that, the default isn't really correct for use on any 
decorator that modifies the meaning or overall call signature of the function 
if it happens to have annotations.  as __annotations__ and __defaults__ and 
__kwdefaults__ are all abstract callable introspection interfaces.

Your PR makes sense to me, though we'll need to understand and fix that test 
failure you identified where it appears to be potentially testing for the wrong 
thing (I haven't studied it enough study to say yet).
