Bug Description

[Impact]
With a recent update of python from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2, the pathlib.Path.path property is gone. This impacts MAAS as it will cause it to fail importing SSH keys, which prevents users from deploying.

[Test Case]
1. Install MAAS
2. Import SSH Key (example, maas maas sshkeys create key="$(ssh-add -L | grep <email address hidden>)")

With fix - The key will be imported correctly.
Without fix - The key will fail to import.

Work around sudden loss of pathlib.Path.path property in Python 3.5.2 release.

[Regression Potential]
None. Tested and proved that using the different path fixes the issue.

== Original bug report ==
When I add a public SSH key over the API or in the UI I get the following error

$ maas maas sshkeys create key="$(ssh-add -L | grep <email address hidden>)"
{"key": ["Invalid SSH public key: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'path'"]}

This was introduced in 5118 in the validation code of SSH keys but appears to be exposing a bigger bug. If you run ./bin/test.rack src/provisioningserver/utils/tests/test_sshkey.py the tests fail. I'm guessing that something is mocking check_output in a previous test and not unmocking it.

I still get the same failure:
cdoqa@maas-node-1:~$ maas maas sshkeys create key='ssh-rsa PUB_KEY_TEXT'
{"key": ["Invalid SSH public key: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'path'"]}

Looking at the installed code it appears one use of keypath.path was changed (i.e. line 139) but a second was not (i.e. line 149):

cdoqa@maas-node-1:~$ egrep -nre str[\(]keypath /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/provisioningserver
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/provisioningserver/utils/sshkey.py:139: ("setsid", "-w", "ssh-keygen", "-e", "-f", str(keypath)),
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/provisioningserver/utils/sshkey.py:149: ("setsid", "-w", "ssh-keygen", "-i", "-f", str(keypath.path)),

FWIW, this exact fix is in ppa:maas/next. Not sure where else it's meant
to be right now.
