[issue32689] shutil.move raises AttributeError if first argument is a pathlib.Path object and destination is a directory

Ah, you're right. That was a typo when I was redacting my full path. The path 
object remains unchanged even though the directory has moved. 

Should have been:

    >>> import os, pathlib, shutil
    >>> os.mkdir('test1')
    >>> os.mkdir('test2')
    >>> path = pathlib.Path('test1')
    >>> path.absolute()
    PosixPath('/Users/e/Development/OSS/cpython/test1')
    >>> shutil.move(path, 'test2')
    'test2/test1'
    >>> path.absolute()
    PosixPath('/Users/e/Development/OSS/cpython/test1')

test1 is now actually at '/Users/e/Development/OSS/cpython/test2/test1'
