The ignore_dangling_symlinks attribute in shutil.copytree is not passed down recursively, resulting in dangling symlinks located anywhere other than the root of the source tree to raise an error.

The line causing the error for 3.9: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.8.0/Lib/shutil.py#L486

Trivial patches and an improved test case for:
3.7: https://github.com/veaviticus/cpython/commit/a662ae8a3f85380ec76ed3dfbc778aad8c5ac37a

3.8: https://github.com/veaviticus/cpython/commit/64f72c7196243bd3e2cf4136ebbb9f9ffe206750

3.9: https://github.com/veaviticus/cpython/commit/e55dd12e558443c350d241d87bf17dfc322dbfcf
