treewide: refactor mkdir and read_file

mkdir and read_file augment the error case with the path in the error
case. This is useful as we otherwise don't know which location failed.
This commit refactors the functions to take any argument that coerces
into a Path - which is implemented by many types.

mkdir now uses create_dir_all as it is not meant to fail if the
directory already exists.
