It should be pathlib.Path.link_to(), not pathlib.path.link_to().

Also, double backqoutes should be used here instead of single backquotes (as per https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#inline-markup). The following could also be used:

:meth:`pathlib.Path.link_to()`

Commit 6b5b013 ("bpo-26978: Implement pathlib.Path.link_to (Using os.link) (pythonGH-12990)") introduced a new link_to method in pathlib. However, this makes pathlib crash when the 'os' module is missing a 'link' method. Fix this by checking for the presence of the 'link' method on pathlib module import, and if it's not present, turn it into a runtime error like those emitted when there is no lchmod() or symlink().
