Path and all interfaces directly with the file-system should probably use [u8] rather than trying to coerce str to handle these cases. (Similar issue to #7188.)

My last referenced commit is a month old, but I'm still working on this issue (currently finishing up the support for Windows paths).

The issues here of dealing with filesystems that are not utf8 seem related to #2253, at least tangentially.
Add dispatch task, plus a bunch more updates
path2: Start reimplementing in terms of ~[u8] instead of ~str
