objectstore: direct path i/o for Object

The `Object.{read,write}` methods were introduced to implement
copy on write support. Calling `write` would trigger the copy,
if the object had a `base`. Additionally, a level of indirection
was introduced via bind mounts, which allowed to hide the actual
path of the object in the store and make sure that `read` really
returned a read-only path.
Support for copy-on-write was recently removed[1], and thus the
need for the `read` and `write` methods. We lose the benefits
of the indirection, but they are not really needed: the path to
the object is not really hidden since one can always use the
`resolve_ref` method to obtain the actual store object path.
The read only property of build trees is ensured via read only
bind mounts in the build root.
Instead of using `read` and `write`, `Object` now gained a new
`tree` property that is the path to the objects tree and also
is implementing `__fspath__` and so behaves like an `os.PathLike`
object and can thus transparently be used in many places, like
e.g. `os.path.join` or `pathlib.Path`.
