[whatwg/url] "D:\foo" should be parsed as "file:///D:/foo" (#271)

https://quuz.org/url/liveview.html#D:/foo Edge and Chrome on Windows at least parse this as a file URL, which I think is much more friendly. Firefox does not, but has some special logic so that when you enter `D:\foo` in the URL bar, it translates it to `file:///D:/foo`.

They also parse https://quuz.org/url/liveview.html#D:b/foo as a file URL, so it's not about the path name starting with /... maybe they treat all single-character schemes this way?
