Simplify Traversable signature (#10934)

Simplify Traversable.open() signature. This is necessary so that implentors can
reasonanbly implement this method. For example `zipfile.Path.open()` (which
is considered a `Traversable`) only supports this subset.

Make `Traversable.__truediv__` and `joinpath` arguments pos-only. The
arguments are named differently in both `pathlib.Path` and `zipfile.Path`.
