GH-127078: `url2pathname()`: handle extra slash before UNC drive in URL path (GH-127132)
Decode a file URI like `file://///server/share` as a UNC path like
`\\server\share`. This form of file URI is created by software the simply
prepends `file:///` to any absolute Windows path.

GH-126766: `url2pathname()`: handle 'localhost' authority (GH-127129)
Discard any 'localhost' authority from the beginning of a `file:` URI. As a
result, file URIs like `//localhost/etc/hosts` are correctly decoded as
`/etc/hosts`.

GH-126766: `url2pathname()`: handle empty authority section. (GH-126767)
Discard two leading slashes from the beginning of a `file:` URI if they
introduce an empty authority section. As a result, file URIs like
`///etc/hosts` are correctly parsed as `/etc/hosts`.

GH-120423: `pathname2url()`: handle forward slashes in Windows paths (GH-126593)

paths are handled identically to backward slashes.

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.

GH-126205: Fix conversion of UNC paths to file URIs (GH-126208)

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.
I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.
The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings. Hope this is
okay.
Pathnames of files on other hosts in the same domain
(\\host\path\to\file) are not translated correctly to URLs and back.
The URL should be something like file:////host/path/to/file.
Note that a combination of drive letter and remote host is not
possible.
