Bug report

For example:

>>>from urllib.requestimport pathname2url>>>'file:'+ pathname2url('//foo/bar')'file://foo/bar'

This is a file URI with path "/bar" and authority "foo". Non-empty authority other than "localhost" are usually rejected. The right URI for path "//foo/bar" is "file:////foo/bar" -- an URI with explicit empty authority.

Similar bug in urlunparse() and urlunsplit() was fixed in#67693.
