[New-bugs-announce] [issue32964] Reuse a testing implementation of the path protocol in tests

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

In a number of tests there are simple implementations of the path protocol. Unlike to pathlib.Path they implement only necessary minimum of methods. The proposed PR moves this implementation into test.support. It also fixes some misuses of it.

I have named it SimplePath. Are there better ideas? PathLike was rejected due to possible confusion with os.PathLike.
