In Python 3.6, the support for "bytes-like" paths was deprecated (commitd73c318): see issue#70987 for the rationale.

I propose to remove the support for bytes-like paths in Python 3.12. The feature was deprecated in 6 Python releases (PEP 387 is respected). In practice, the two most common "bytes-like" types are:bytearray andmemoryview.
