Should `parser.from_file` acccept `pathlib.Path objects?

[afuetterer]

I just realized that parser.from_file does not accept a pathlib.Path object.

import pathlib

path = pathlib.Path("/somepath/filename.pdf")
tika.parser.from_file(path)

fails with AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'decode'.

let's save this for a future update. I'd say unless it's an easy fix now, it's not the semantics people expect. We could always support back compat and allow either a str or a Pathlib object.
