Remove usage of py.path?

[henryiii]

Currently, there is a dependency on py.path, which pytest is trying to remove, and it seems like nox should remove it too, now that Python 3 is required (since quite a while, actually). py.path is not recommended for use: https://py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/path.html. This would reduce a dependency, too!

Looking through the usages, I see py.path.local.sysfind, which with a little effort could be replaced by Python 3's shutil.which. I see as_cwd, which could be handled pretty easily (ideally looking like the 3.11 context addition). That seems to be it for non-test usages.

Would you like me to take a stab at it?

Sounds good to me 👍

Great idea! 🎉

FYI, removing it is really easy, but untangling the monkey patched unittests is not (though I love the test granularity that allows, so not against it, just extra work for this sort of a change). I should be able to finish it up later in the week month.
