add_docs: Fix #94 to_text exception (unsupported type <class 'pathlib.PosixPath'>)

[trinitronx]

This fixes the following error¹ when running collection_prep_add_docs -p path/to/a_collection:

$ collection_prep_add_docs -p ./

[WARNING]: Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting `deprecation_warnings=False` in ansible.cfg.
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: DEFAULT_MANAGED_STR option. Reason: The `ansible_managed` variable can be set just like any other variable, or a different variable can be used.
Alternatives: Set the `ansible_managed` variable, or use any custom variable in templates. This feature will be removed from ansible-core version 2.23.

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Importing 'to_text' from 'ansible.module_utils._text' is deprecated. This feature will be removed from ansible-core version 2.24. Use ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters instead.

Footnotes

1. Note: Ansible core _AnsibleCollectionFinder code still uses deprecated internal _to_text method (as of Ansible 2.20.0), which does not handle pathlib.PosixPath. Meanwhile, to_text from ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters now does. Therefore, we can convert to text here using the public to_text import if available in newer Ansible versions, else fall back to the old import. ↩

Any chance this can be merged soon and a release generated. I'm hitting this when using ansible-core 2.20 and python 3.14.
