Description
We handle serveral paths within labgrid as strings and should switch to a pathlib.Path based handling. Since python3.6 all the os functions can handle this natively, this should remove some stringifications which were required for python 3.5.

Research direction
Start by locating the serveral path-handling sites in labgrid and the os calls currently receiving stringified paths. Audit how these paths flow through the library, then identify the stringifications that were only needed for Python 3.5. Done means the relevant handling uses pathlib.Path and remains compatible with Python 3.6 os functions.
