    Do not convert to string ``url.URL`` objects

    The SQLAlchemy method ``url.make_url`` accepts strings and ``url.URL``
    object types. By default, oslo.db was converting any object to string
    before calling ``url.make_url``, that parses this string. Since
    SQLAlchemy 2.0, the ``url.URL.__str__`` method is removed and the
    ``url.URL.__repr__`` method returns a string with the password hidden.

    The new utility method checks what type of object is passed and only
    if the object is not a string nor a ``url.URL`` object, is converted
    to a string.
