[issue40983] urllib.request.url2pathname() unconditionally uses utf-8 encoding and "replace" error handler

Manuel Jacob added the comment: I’ve created issue40996, which suggests that urllib should fsdecode percent-encoded parts of file URIs on Unix. Since the two tickets are very related and I’d prefer if the issue was solved more generally for the whole module, I close this as a duplicate.
