Fix PosixPath issue with Sphinx 7.2

[scottamain]

Just need to cast the path to a string.

Fixes #944

[sergiomb2]

hi, I think you have the same fix but in other way in #956

[sergiomb2]

I spoke too soon , I use this fix instead of first change on commit of #956

@jakobandersen sorry for the ping, but I believe you are a maintainer of Breathe -- do you think this PR would be mergeable? It's one of the main things preventing Sphinx 8.0 at the moment.

Actually, the fix from #956 is more complete. Notably, the tests still fail with this one, so it's not even really "testable".

[AA-Turner]

Ah, fair enough -- though I don't believe #956 will work on older versions of Sphinx, it should use the Path constructor instead of assuming .parent exists.

Are you asking me to open a fourth competing pull request? ;-)

[sergiomb2]

I be clear I use this one, more [1] found in #956
