Wording changes to pathlib docs.
Only possibly-controversial change: joinpath() was described as: "Calling this method is equivalent to indexing the path with each of the *other* arguments in turn." 'Indexing' is an odd word to use, because you can't subscript Path or PurePath objects, so I changed it to "combining".
