Summary: nturl2path.url2pathname() mishandles ///

Initial Comment:
On Windows, urllib.url2pathname('///path/to/file') returns 
r'\\path\to\file'. This path cannot be used in things like 
open() and os.access(). It should probably return 
r'\path\to\file'.

In addition, '//localhost/path/to/file' is a special case that 
should become '\path\to\file'.  I'll post this as a separate 
bug since it affects all file URIs.
