// CopyDir recursively copies all of the files within the directory given in
// src to the directory given in dst.
//
// Both directories should already exist. If the destination directory is
// non-empty then the new files will merge in with the old, overwriting any
// files that have a relative path in common between source and destination.
//
// Recursive copying of directories is inevitably a rather opinionated sort of
// operation, so this function won't be appropriate for all use-cases. Some
// of the "opinions" it has are described in the following paragraphs:
//
// Symlinks in the source directory are recreated with the same target in the
// destination directory. If the symlink is to a directory itself, that
// directory is not recursively visited for further copying.
//
// File and directory modes are not preserved exactly, but the executable
// flag is preserved for files on operating systems where it is significant.
//
// Any "dot files" it encounters along the way are skipped, even on platforms
// that do not normally ascribe special meaning to files with names starting
// with dots.
//
// Callers may rely on the above details and other undocumented details of
// this function, so if you intend to change it be sure to review the callers
// first and make sure they are compatible with the change you intend to make.
