Subject: [PATCH] util: add types module defining PathLike type

Add a simple new module meant to define types that are commonly
used throughout the code-base. For starters, define `PathLike`
meant to represent file system paths, i.e. strings, bytes, or
anything that provides the `os.PathLike` protocol, i.e. that
can be used with `os.fspath`.
