[url] URL.pathname getter for file URLs produces odd result on Windows (#103)

The getter for URL.pathname always prefixes the pathname with / 
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-url-pathname

That produces odd results in Windows:

parser.href = "file:///C:/Folder/File4.txt"
parser.pathname returns "/C:/Folder/File4.txt"

On Mac/*nix platforms parser.pathname returns a valid OS pathname. On Windows the returned pathname doesn't appear to be a valid pathname:

Looks like URL standard behaviour matches Chrome/Firefox but not IE11 where .pathname returns  "C:/Folder/File4.txt".
