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.

fix spellings
**seperate -> separate**: found more occurrences, see
https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/14602
**initialise -> intialize**: the latter is more common in the repo
**pre-defined > predefined**: adding a comma after a prefix is a
delicate matter, but this is a generally accepted word
also, another word that appears in the repo is "fs" (stands for
filesystem), e.g., in `libs/core/langchain_core/prompts/loading.py`
` """Unified method for loading a prompt from LangChainHub or local
fs."""`
Isn't "filesystem" better?
