[ruby-core:92714] [Ruby trunk Feature#15861] Correctly parse `file:c:/path/to/file` URIs

Issue #15861 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr刕uez).


This is definitely intentional behavior, by the way. This is how the current tests look:

```
  u = URI("file:///c:/path/to/file")
  assert_equal "/c:/path/to/file", u.path

  # this form is not supported
  u = URI("file:c:/path/to/file")
  assert_equal "c:/path/to/file", u.opaque
```

I just wished working with file URIs on Windows was a bit easier.

Recently ruby has getting better at parsing URIs using the "file" scheme, with the addition of "URI::File". Still, some Windows edge cases are not implemented, and it would be nice to have them. For example, while the [addressable gem](https://github.com/sporkmonger/addressable) can correct parse "file:c:/path/to/file", the builtin library is not that smart yet:

``` 
irb(main):001:0> URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> require 'addressable'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Addressable::URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path
=> "c:/path/to/file"
```

I think this would be a matter of implementing https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#appendix-E.2, which is not normative but it would be certainly nice to have.
