test: Pass strings to readlink for Windows Python 3.7

rubber stamp, just get this through CI OMG
<!-- agent -->
The dangling-metadata regression passed pathlib.Path objects to
os.readlink() when capturing and checking the symlink target. Windows
Python 3.7 requires a string argument, so all four parameter combinations
failed with TypeError before exercising the clone fix.

Convert the path to str at both calls. The production clone helper already
passes a string and needs no change. Keep the target-preservation
assertions and the absolute/relative and realpath-mode coverage intact.

Validation: reproduced all four TypeErrors on Windows/Python 3.10 with an
in-memory readlink wrapper enforcing the Python 3.7 string requirement.
After the conversions, all four cases passed with the same wrapper and
Windows permission-error suppression disabled. Ruff 0.16.5 lint and
formatting checks and git diff --check passed. Native Python 3.7 was not
available locally.
