os.PathLike support for Python >=3.6

See original GitHub issue

Since regular Python filesystem interface supports pathlib.Path, it would make sense to create S3-version of this class by extending os.PathLike (called e.g. S3Path). Would it be something you consider useful? I can work on a PR.

For posterity’s sake: this has been implemented by @sretlawd in a gist (see discussion in fsspec here).

Closing as old and not convincing; feel free to propose __fspath__ in fsspec.
