There used to be a meaningful distinction between these modules:
pathlibimportedpathlib._abcbut notpathlib.types, and so zero-cost type annotations could only be added to the latter. This is no longer the case (neither module is imported), so we move the ABCs as follows:pathlib._abc.JoinablePath-->pathlib.types._JoinablePathpathlib._abc.ReadablePath-->pathlib.types._ReadablePathpathlib._abc.WritablePath-->pathlib.types._WritablePathThe
pathlib._abcmodule is deleted.
