gh-68320, gh-88302 - Allow for private pathlib.Path subclassing (GH…

Users may wish to define subclasses of `pathlib.Path` to add or modify
existing methods. Before this change, attempting to instantiate a subclass
raised an exception like:

    AttributeError: type object 'PPath' has no attribute '_flavour'

Previously the `_flavour` attribute was assigned as follows:

    PurePath._flavour        = xxx not set!! xxx
    PurePosixPath._flavour   = _PosixFlavour()
    PureWindowsPath._flavour = _WindowsFlavour()

This change replaces it with a `_pathmod` attribute, set as follows:

    PurePath._pathmod        = os.path
    PurePosixPath._pathmod   = posixpath
    PureWindowsPath._pathmod = ntpath

Functionality from `_PosixFlavour` and `_WindowsFlavour` is moved into
`PurePath` as underscored-prefixed classmethods. Flavours are removed.
