accept pathlib.Path instances

Would be nice if Image (and others?) would accept a pathlib.Path instance.

from pathlib import Path

fpath = Path('/media/bar/Lake_town-home.jpg')

with Image(filename=fpath):
    pass

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bar/.virtualenvs/foo/lib/python3.7/site-packages/wand/image.py", line 8762, in save
    repr(filename))
TypeError: filename must be a string, not PosixPath('/media/bar/Lake_town-home.jpg')

It should! Or, perhaps, you located an area/method that does not. Could that error message be coming from another code-location then the one you posted? Just tested with Python 3.7 & 3.8 images load fine from PosixPath instances.

[thijstriemstra]

you're right, it's save that triggered the traceback.

main_img.save(filename=fpath)

Got it. 9d4ca66 should fix it.

Afaik it's not documented anywhere that Path's are accepted..
