This PR adds a type identity for
std::filesystem::path, which is expected to be used in the upcoming experimental DF release and thus needs to be supported by the type identity systemThis does not add support for paths to codegen; that needs to be done separately
The type added is not opaque; paths will be converting to Lua strings in UTF-8 encoding, and a Lua string will be converted to a path assuming UTF-8 encoding. Note that it is the developer's responsibility to convert CP437 to UTF-8, if necessary. Do not use CP-1252 or UCS-2 (wide) encoding, even on Windows; the type wrapper will take care of converting UTF-8 to UCS-2 on Windows platforms.
