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.

- **Description:** Updated `_get_elements()` function of
`UnstructuredFileLoader `class to check if the argument self.file_path
is a file or list of files. If it is a list of files then it iterates
over the list of file paths, calls the partition function for each one,
and appends the results to the elements list. If self.file_path is not a
list, it calls the partition function as before.
