Update FileLeaf with constructors and methods so that users of FileLeaf don't have to care about how it represents the file path internally.

This is a required step for two reasons:

  1. Python 3 uses surrogate escape-encoding for paths with non-utf-8 bytes (roughly), and Gtk 3 / GIO / PyGObject does not support this.
  2. (Far future) Go full GIO and support remote URIs
    • Often not needed because gvfs supplies local paths for almost anything.
