feat: PathLike support throughout

[Gobot1234]

Context

Currently everything is typed as a str for Path but can still work in some places. This PR adds support for Paths I think everywhere in the public API

Change Summary

Gone through the library to find anything with path in it and update them to support os.fspath calls

Rationale

It makes things a lot nicer to use if you can use pathlib.Path

Impact

I don't think there's a big impact to anyone
