Description

I've wanted a PathArg type for the commands libs that will validate that the content its passed is a valid ipfs path, and allow typed access to that to the consumers of the cmds.Request

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing command argument types in the commands library (e.g., StringArg, IntArg) and implement a PathArg that validates IPFS paths (e.g., /ipfs/, /ipns/). Look at how the Request struct consumes argument types and add the new type.
