for copy and copy2 it doesn't say anything about what happens if dst exists. 

for copy file, copy tree and move it does.

[issue40534] ShUtil doc deficiencies

[T UA]

New submission from T UA :

https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html

The operational outcome for the various copy functions is not described for the 
cases in which the target file already exists. Do they overwrite, do they raise 
exceptions and if so, which ones?
