Add join function in shlex module (new in 3.8)

[sarahmonod]

A new function was added to the stdlib shlex in python 3.8, as stated here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html#shlex.join and in the changelog here https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html and here https://bugs.python.org/issue22454

At the moment, only split has a stub:

typeshed/stdlib/3/shlex.pyi

Line 4 in 87d7dd3

def split(s: str, comments: bool = ..., posix: bool = ...) -> List[str]: ...

Adding join would be quite simple, and would probably look a bit like this:

def join(s: List[str]) -> str: ... 

I have not opened a PR yet because I wonder if this is something that you would want to add or not, because saying that join does not exist is true for python3.7 and lower. Surely there must be precedent, but I could not find an example of this in the issues yet.

Hi,
With #3319 already in progress, I think you could open a PR with:
if sys.version_info >= (3, 8): :)
Also, @srittau would know better :)

Thanks for the report. shlex.join() was added in #3358.
