From 3d4d01f614d894327bbdc1feadebd50b2d3621ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org>
Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 13:00:21 -0700
Subject: Back out 7e9605697dfc, 2e3c31ab586a, 759b2cecc289.

These added a path attribute to pathlib.Path objects, and docs.
Instead, we're going to use PEP 519.

(Starting in the 3.4 branch and merging forward from there since that's what I did originally.)
