Support for PosixPath vs str

[joeflack4]

Overview

Was recently working on a codebase that uses LinkML recently and ran into this issue. @cmungall mentioned that LinkML makes use of honey badger reader (still love the name =P), so perhaps it would be good to handle this issue here.

I haven't used hbreader yet personally, so I'm not sure where/how this would added, but Chris suggested that it might be worth adding an issue.

more generally, support for Path objects

Just an FYI, kinda strange, but the data type for pathlib.Path is pathlib.PosixPath:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> type(Path())
<class 'pathlib.PosixPath'>
