Move `pathlib.Path.walk()` implementation into `glob._Globber`. The new `glob._Globber.walk()` classmethod works with strings internally, which is a little faster than generating `Path` objects and keeping them normalized. The `pathlib.Path.walk()` method converts the strings back to path objects. In the private pathlib ABCs, our existing subclass of `_Globber` ensures that `PathBase` instances are used throughout. Follow-up to python#117589.

Timings:
Speedup is nothing to write home about, but this PR has the benefit of keeping closely-related recursive-directory-walking code together, and removing some redundant private pathlib methods.
