[issue41026] mailbox does not support new Path object

[Ethan Furman]

Ethan Furman <ethan at stoneleaf.us> added the comment:

The problem with using `str()` on a path argument is that the argument may not be a str, nor a pathlib object, but `str()` will still create a string out of it, leading to difficult bugs.

The documentation for pathlib also predates the addition of `os.fspath()`.
