Accept pathlib.Path type for read_image.

[sergeant-wizard]

This patch enables users to pass a pathlib.Path object to read_image, which is currently not possible due to the limitations cv2.imread ( cv2.imread(pathlib.Path('hoge.png')) throws a cryptic error )

Looks like we need to wait for the drop of python 2 support :sob:

FYI: Our policy about py2 support is here.

Will ChainerCV update to Chainer 7 after its stable release and then drop Py2 support?

[Hakuyume]

After Chainer v7 becomes stable, we can drop py2 support from ChainerCV.

Ok the test should pass once PY2 test is removed. I'll rebase once that happens.
