Path type instance check for schema validators

Path type instance check for schema validators

Added a Path type validator for the driver config folder_output object. This is very minor - but it is nice if you ever load your driver config using load_yaml then set the folder_output to a path object. If you did this before, then you'd get an instance error. This update makes it so that an error is no longer thrown. This was somewhat motivated by PR #820

Would love for folks to tell me if there is a "better" way to add the Path type checker than how I did it (which is this line below in extend_with_default in h2integrate/core/inputs/validation.py:

# this equals sign seems like the not proper way of doing this
validator_class.TYPE_CHECKER = validator_class.TYPE_CHECKER.redefine("Path", is_path)
