   Proposal:

   • Introduce os.path.fileuri() function that produces a 'file://' URI
   • Adjust PurePosixPath.to_uri() to call posixpath.fileuri()
   • Adjust PureWindowsPath.to_uri() to call ntpath.fileuri()
   • Adjust nturl2path.pathname2url() to call ntpath.fileuri()

   Rationale:

   • pathlib is 95% a wrapper around os and os.path. It implements
     little itself except the OOP interface. as_uri() is one of only a
     tiny handful of pathlib features that have no decent antecedents.
   • the existence of these OS-specific features complicates pathlib's
     internals, necessitating the existence of OS-specific '_Flavour'
     classes that greatly complicate work on bpo-24132
   • this is a useful feature with lots of stackoverflow posts. It seems
     silly to /require/ users to use pathlib for this, as the rest of their
     codebase may work just fine using traditional path manip.
