### Description

When a `Path` object is used as a key in the `FEEDS` dictionary and we try to obtain the `FEEDS` setting via CLI `scrapy settings --get FEEDS`, a type error is raised:

```
TypeError: keys must be str, int, float, bool or None, not PosixPath
```

A complete stack trace is attached below under "Actual behavior".

`Path` objects as keys are allowed as documented in [the FEEDS section of the Feed exports chapter](https://docs.scrapy.org/en/master/topics/feed-exports.html#feeds).

### Steps to Reproduce

1. In a freshly generated scrapy project (e.g. via `scrapy project feeds_bug`), prepend the following lines to `settings.py`:
```python
from pathlib import Path

FEEDS = {
    Path("some_path/file.csv"): {
        "format": "csv"
    }
}
```
2. Execute `scrapy settings --get FEEDS`

**Expected behavior:** Some string representation of the `FEEDS` setting gets printed to standard out, maybe like this:
```
{"some_path/file.csv": {"format": "csv"}}
```

**Actual behavior:** A type error is raised:
```

    return _iterencode(o, 0)
TypeError: keys must be str, int, float, bool or None, not PosixPath
```
