This method supports file URIs (including variants) as described in RFC 8089, such as URIs generated by `pathlib.Path.as_uri()` and `urllib.request.pathname2url`. The method is added to `Path` rather than `PurePath` because it uses `os.fsdecode()`, and so its results vary from system to system. I intend to deprecate `PurePath.as_uri()` and move it to `Path` for the same reason.

Feature or enhancement
Add
pathlib.Path.from_uri()classmethod that creates a path objects from a 'file' URI, likefile:///c:/windows. This method should accept RFC 8089file:URIs, including variant forms.Pitch
The proposed method is the counterpart of
pathlib.Path.as_uri(). As we continue to open up pathlib for subclassing, user subclasses of path classes will begin to appear with their ownas_uri()methods returning URIs likes3://,ftp://. These subclasses will likely also support parsing URIs to create paths. However, there is currently no defined interface for doing this in pathlib, and users will be tempted to accept URIs in initialisers, which produces a confusing interface. If pathlib instead defines afrom_uri()classmethod, there is one clear and obvious method that subclasses may override.Previous discussion
