Description

When passing a DataReference to my DatabricksStep:

```
day_files = DataReference(datastore=ds,
path_on_datastore='day_files',
data_reference_name='day_files',
)

python_script_name = "calculate_responsible_turnover.py"
source_directory = "./"

calculate_responsible_turnover_step = DatabricksStep(name="calculate_responsible_turnover",
python_script_params=['--data-path', day_files],
inputs=[day_files],
num_workers=1,
python_script_name=python_script_name,
source_directory=source_directory,
run_name='calculate_responsible_turnover',
compute_target=databricks_compute,
allow_reuse=False
)
```

I'm getting the error:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/project/collect_data/main.py", line 39, in
calculate_responsible_turnover_step = DatabricksStep(name="calculate_responsible_turnover",

self._params["python_script_params"] = self._encode_string_params(python_script_params)
File "/opt/conda/lib/python3.8/site-packages/azureml/pipeline/core/_databricks_step_base.py", line 578, in _encode_string_params
final_params_list.append(value.replace("|", "|-"))
AttributeError: 'DataReference' object has no attribute 'replace'
```

Seems like the DatabricksStep is expecting a string, but if I typecast my DataReference as a string, it becomes `$AZUREML_DATAREFERENCE_day_files` instead of the actual path. I'm running the following packages:
```
- azureml-sdk==1.34.0
- azureml-core==1.34.0
- azureml-pipeline-core==1.34.0
- azureml-datadrift==1.21.0
- azureml-telemetry==1.23.0
- azure-keyvault-secrets==4.2.0
- azureml-pipeline-steps==1.34.0
```
Any suggestions on how to proceed with this problem?
