Fix test suite on FreeBSD (#842)

* Restore previous behavior of "absolute_path()"

The function `absolute_path` that was provided by "pathtools" was redefined and now gives a "Path" object back as return value.

However, this leads to assertion errors when executing the test suite on FreeBSD, because there are now discrepancies between "PosixPath('/some/dir')" and "'/some/dir'".

Thus restore the original return value of "absolute_path" as is was done by "pathtools".  See also:

https://pythonhosted.org/pathtools/_modules/pathtools/path.html#absolute_path

* Skip two checks for BSD

* Test "test_delete_self()" was tested only on Darwin platforms with release 0.10.6
* Test "file_lifecyle" was introduced in the 2.0.0 release

* Update changelog for (#841) and (#842)
