[3.12] GH-126212: Fix removal of slashes in file URIs on Windows (GH-126214) (#126591)
GH-126212: Fix removal of slashes in file URIs on Windows (GH-126214)
Adjust `urllib.request.pathname2url()` and `url2pathname()` so that they
don't remove slashes from Windows DOS drive paths and URLs. There was no
basis for this behaviour, and it conflicts with how UNC and POSIX paths are
handled.
