bpo-43075: Fix ReDoS in urllib AbstractBasicAuthHandler (GH-24391) (GH-25250)

Fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in
urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler. The ReDoS-vulnerable regex
has quadratic worst-case complexity and it allows cause a denial of
service when identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on
the client side and needs remote attackers to control the HTTP server.
(cherry picked from commit 7215d1ae25525c92b026166f9d5cac85fb1defe1)
