community: better support of pathlib paths in document loaders (#18396)

So this arose from the
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/18397 problem of document
loaders not supporting `pathlib.Path`.

This pull request provides more uniform support for Path as an argument.
The core ideas for this upgrade: 
- if there is a local file path used as an argument, it should be
supported as `pathlib.Path`
- if there are some external calls that may or may not support Pathlib,
the argument is immidiately converted to `str`
- if there `self.file_path` is used in a way that it allows for it to
stay pathlib without conversion, is is only converted for the metadata.
