[issue38222] pathlib Path objects should support __format__

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

I don't think anyone is suggesting reverting the decision on object.__format__. That decision should stay.

I think the suggestion is to add Path.__format__, which just converts to a string and formats with the given spec.

Unless someone can think of a reason to have a different format specifier language for Path, I think this is a good usability improvement.
