Subject: [PATCH] [Python Misc] Fix issue when deprecate
 pkg_resources.resource_filename (#35810)

We changed `pkg_resources.resource_filename` to `importlib.resources.files`, but the return of `resources.files()` API is a traversable object implementing a subset of the [pathlib.Path](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path) interface instead of string, thus we're seeing errors like `AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'rstrip'`.

This PR converts the result of `files()` to str to prevent those kinds of errors.

Test run:
 * [x] [grpc/core/master/linux/grpc_interop_tocloud](http://sponge/ee5d493b-e23e-4358-8084-3dba1df1d42f)
