Research direction
Start by comparing uvloop's event-loop and transport behavior with vanilla asyncio's sendfile support, as the issue reports that uvloop lacks it. Define the supported behavior and platform scope before identifying the relevant entry points; done means uvloop provides sendfile behavior consistent with asyncio and the corresponding behavior is verified.
