Bug report

Bug description:

In Python 3.13b1 (compared to Python 3.12 and earlier), the behavior of pathlib.Path.with_suffix(None) changed from raising an incidental TypeError to removing the suffix. This casues a certain test in pytest to fail. I am going to fix pytest to not rely on this in any case, but I think pathlib should either:

• Restore the previous behavior if it was unintended, or
• Update the doc that None is now accepted. Currently it says " If the suffix is an empty string, the original suffix is removed".

CPython versions tested on:

3.12, 3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Linux
