…ute()`

Remove our implementation of POSIX path resolution in `PathBase.resolve()`.
This functionality is rather fragile and isn't necessary in most cases. It
depends on `PathBase.stat()`, which we're looking to remove.

Also remove `PathBase.absolute()`. Many legitimate virtual filesystems lack
the notion of a 'current directory', so it's wrong to include in the basic
interface.

… `is_*()`

Remove `PathBase.samefile()`, which is fairly specific to the local FS, and
relies on `stat()`, which we're aiming to remove from `PathBase`.

Also remove `PathBase.is_mount()`, `is_junction()`, `is_block_device()`,
`is_char_device()`, `is_fifo()` and `is_socket()`. These rely on POSIX
file type numbers that we're aiming to remove from the `PathBase` API.

…ethods

Remove the following methods from `pathlib._abc.PathBase`:

- `expanduser()`
- `hardlink_to()`
- `touch()`
- `chmod()`
- `lchmod()`
- `owner()`
- `group()`
- `from_uri()`
- `as_uri()`

These operations aren't regularly supported in virtual filesystems, so they
don't win a place in the `PathBase` interface. (Some of them probably don't
deserve a place in `Path` :P.) They're quasi-abstract (except `lchmod()`),
and they're not called by other `PathBase` methods.

Virtual filesystems don't always make a distinction between deleting files
and empty directories, and sometimes support deleting non-empty directories
in a single operation. Here we remove `PathBase.unlink()` and `rmdir()`,
leaving `_delete()` as the sole deletion method, now made abstract. I hope
to drop the underscore prefix later on.

Unlike `ReadablePath.[r]glob()` and `JoinablePath.full_match()`, the
`JoinablePath.match()` method doesn't support the recursive wildcard `**`,
and matches from the right when a fully relative pattern is given. These
quirks means its probably unsuitable for inclusion in the pathlib ABCs,
especially given `full_match()` handles the same use case.

a trivial wrapper around `glob()` and easily replaced.

Remove `ReadablePath` methods duplicated by `ReadablePath.info`. To be

Remove the *mode*, *parents* and *exist_ok* arguments from

Remove the *case_sensitive* argument from `_JoinablePath.full_match()` and
`_ReadablePath.glob()`. Using a non-native case sensitivity forces the use
of "case-pedantic" globbing, where we `iterdir()` even for non-wildcard
pattern segments. But it's hard to know when to enable this mode, as
case-sensitivity can vary by directory, so `_PathParser.normcase()` doesn't
always give the full picture. The `Path.glob()` implementation is forced to
make an educated guess, but we can avoid the issue in the ABCs by dropping
the *case_sensitive* argument.

(I probably shouldn't have added these arguments in `PurePath` and `Path`
in the first place!)

Also drop support for `_ReadablePath.glob(recurse_symlinks=False)`, which
makes recursive globbing much slower.
