[feature request] std::filesystem::path support

[nicolasnoble]

Basically the title. It'd be nice to have a default support for std::filesystem::path. Right now we have to use .string(), which feels superfluous.

You can add support yourself with:

/* Make std::filesystem::path formattable.
 */
template <>
struct fmt::formatter<std::filesystem::path>: formatter<std::string_view>
{
    template <typename FormatContext>
    auto format(const std::filesystem::path& path, FormatContext& ctx)
    {
        return formatter<std::string_view>::format(path.string(), ctx);
    }
};

Sure, that too. I just think it'd be appropriate for direct support in fmt itself.

A PR to add a formatter specialization for path is welcome.

A basic path formatter has been added in 9730fb0 (updated to the commit with a fix).
