User-defined virtual path objects

Proposal

Add a PathBase class that can be subclassed by users to implement "virtual paths", e.g. paths within .zip files or on FTP servers, and publish it as an external PyPI package.

Phase 1: Private support in pathlib

Add private _PathBase class
- GH-89812: Add pathlib._PathBase #106337
Merge WalkTests into DummyPathTest
- GH-110109: Simplify pathlib test setup #110308
- GH-110109: Move tests for pathlib.Path.walk() into main test classes. #110655
Sort out __hash__(), __eq__, etc - we shouldn't inherit the PurePath implementation
- GH-110109: Churn pathlib.PurePath methods #112012
- GH-110109: Add pathlib._PurePathBase #110670
Simplify/speed up path walking and globbing
- GH-72904: Add glob.translate() function #106703
Add from_uri() classmethod
- GH-107465: Add pathlib.Path.from_uri() classmethod. #107640

Phase 2: Experimental support in PyPI package

Move ABCs into pathlib._abc
- GH-110109: Move pathlib ABCs to new pathlib._abc module. #112881
- GH-110109: Move tests for pathlib ABCs to new module. #112904
Figure out the default value for pathmod, if any
- GH-110109: pathlib tests: store base directory as test class attribute #113221
- GH-110109: pathlib ABCs: do not vary path syntax by host OS. #113219
Publish PyPI package
