`pathlib.Path.move()` consumes too much disk space

Bug report

Bug description:

pathlib.Path.move() and move_into() (new in 3.14+) currently perform a complete copy before deleting any source files, which can consume a lot of disk space. It might be better if they removed source files/directories as the copy operation progresses.

CPython versions tested on:

CPython main branch

Using the performance label is questionable here, this will defiantly slow down copying files, maybe this should be an option rather than default?
