Description

Internally, stop using java.io.File and use NIO2 Paths instead. From outside, this should not make a lot of difference.

But, as a consequence: if Resolver used on FileSystem like Google JIMFS, whatever code touches File method (that will do Path.toFile() under the hood), it will explode. Hence, we need to make sure this call never happens internally, and leave it to consumer projects. Resolver alone should never invoke it.
