Merge pull request #24773 from tailsu:sd/pathlike

python: accept path-like objects wherever file names are expected #24773

Merry Christmas, all 🎄

Implements #15731

Support is enabled for all arguments named `filename` or `filepath` (case-insensitive), or annotated with `CV_WRAP_FILE_PATH`.

Support is based on `PyOS_FSPath`, which is available in Python 3.6+. When running on older Python versions the arguments must have a `str` value as before.
