os.access() is not properly faked, wrong signature since python3.3

Describe the bug Signature of os.access() (since Python3.3) is:

os.access = access(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, effective_ids=False, follow_symlinks=True)

If some code uses the “effective_ids” feature, it does not work when using pyfakefs because the “os.access” function in fake_filesystem.py::FakeOsModule::access() does not match the signature:

def access(self, path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True):

How To Reproduce

import os

def test_fakefs(fs):
    file_path = '/test/file.txt'
    assert not os.access(file_path, os.R_OK)
    fs.create_file(file_path)
    assert os.access(file_path, os.R_OK)

def test_fakefs_effective_ids(fs):
    file_path = '/test/file.txt'
    assert not os.access(file_path, os.R_OK, effective_ids=True)
    fs.create_file(file_path)
    assert os.access(file_path, os.R_OK, effective_ids=True)

Hi, thanks for asking! I’m fine waiting for any release train. I’ve pinned the commit hash in my tox.ini 😉

Can you live with master, or do you need a patch release?
