Tests: move test_posix.py and test_os.py into a new test_os package #139322
Description
In total, test_posix.py and test_os.py are the second largest test in the Python test suite: 8,193 lines.
I propose to:
- (1) merge these two files into a new single test_os package
- and (2) split these files into smaller files to ease their maintenance.

test_osandtest_posixcontain tests for the same functions (except pure Python functions added inos). It is often not easy to find an appropriate place for new test, because there are tests in both modules.Until recently (see #111912),
test_posixwas ran only on Posix.pythongh-139322: Create test_os package
