`TargetPath` issue when using `samefile` with a stringpath on different python versions

[Miauwkeru]

I found this when reviewing https://github.com/fox-it/acquire/pull/255. Path.samefile doesn't function as intended on some of the TargetPath implementations.

These are my findings as of now using TargetPath.samefile(string_path)

• python3.9 During the samefile call it raises an AttributeError of it missing a _accessor property inside the TargetPath

  occurs during a Path.samefile, it attempts to stat both files. This is the TargetPath and the stringy path. However, when it attempts to stat the TargetPath it misses the _accessor that is used inside TargetPath

  *Note* This is also an issue when using TargetPath.samefile(TargetPath)

• python3.10 When calling samefile with a string path it attempts to stat the string path with self._accessor.stat('/str/of/path'). However, in the stat of TargetPath 3.10 it assumes the path passed is a TargetPath object. Then it attempts to use a get call on the string which doesn't exist

• python3.11 When calling samefile on python 3.11 we get the following error:

  TypeError: invalid PureDissectPath initialization: missing filesystem, got ('/vmfs/volumes/a8904c52-004e297f-9598-eb765dc56934',) (this might be a bug, please report)

  In this case samefile attempts to create a new PureDissectPath class. During this process it runs PureDissectPath._from_parts where it expects the first argument to be a Filesystem but instead it receives the string path, and it crashes.

Didn't find an issue with python 3.12 or python 3.13
