Re: [whatwg/url] Changes to file URL path normalization (#544)

@domenic https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/ is vague on the behavior of "file" URLs and I'm more just trying to ensure we don't have some problem with forwards compatibility compared to current behavior for what URLs are assigned when you use files (such as <input type="file">). It seems like prohibiting fetch operations from succeeding for more than 2 `/` would be forwards compatible for now and possible to relax in the future? I guess a different question is, would the web ever have a place where it expects to generate a URL with more than 2 leading `/` for a file. More asking to avoid divergence as much as possible rather than having opinions.
