Copy traversables as directories.

Copying Python Traversals

Modern Python packaging has support for data files to be included with the package alongside source files. There are many times when you might want to have copies of these files on disk, often when being used with external or third-party programs, and this is the role copytrav fills. You may, of course, use importlib.resources.as_file(traversable), but there are still other times when a context manager isn't good enough.
