Description
Problem to Solve
Python 3.x has a standard data type for paths, pathlib.Path, but we are not using it. Specifying that has a configuration parameter has a data type of ni_measurementlink_service.DataType.Path yields a str, not a pathlib.Path.
Proposed Solution
Interpret ni_measurementlink_service.DataType.Path as pathlib.Path, possibly with a opt-in for compatibility.

Research direction
Start by locating how ni_measurementlink_service.DataType.Path is interpreted and where its resulting value type is tested. Check the existing compatibility behavior before deciding how an opt-in should work. Done means Path values are represented as pathlib.Path while the compatibility requirement is covered.
