Re: [whatwg/url] Should 'C%3A' or 'C%7C' be interpreted as 'C:' and 'C|'? (#210)

I was kind of hoping it didn't but I just checked and the results are fairly surprising...

Edge does nothing with `%7C`. It ignores it the same as Firefox, Chrome and Node.js

It *does*, however, decode `%3A`, with different results based on how it appears:

```
file:///c%3a/a/b/c
```
{
   href: "file:///c:/a/b/c",
   pathname: "/c:/a/b/c",
   protocol: "file:",
}
```

Note the decoded `:` in the `pathname`

However, 
```
file://c%3a/a/b/c
```

Results in an error being thrown with the message "A security problem occurred"

The security error implies that the `%3a` is being decoded by Edge because the equivalent `file://c%7c/a/b/c` has zero problems.
