create_db and getDB do not accept `pathlib Paths`

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug The operations in the title do not support a Path argument for the DB. Usage requires converting to string

How to reproduce

from pathlib import Path
from pysondb import db

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).absolute().parent
AUDIT_PATH = BASE_DIR / "audit/"
AUDIT_DB = AUDIT_PATH / "audit_db.json"

def setup_audit_db() -> None:
    """setup_audit_db
    Establishes the audit directory and database if
    does not exist"""
    print(f"Establishing audit database {AUDIT_DB}")
    os.makedirs(AUDIT_PATH, exist_ok=True)
    db.create_db(AUDIT_DB)

Expected behavior Expected that string or Path would work in the noted operations
