[issue27657] urlparse fails if the path is numeric

@James - Originally the issue was considered a revert and the versions were set for the merge, but I certainly recognize the problem when parsing can fail for simple URLs like `localhost:8000` which is very common.

Another developer had raised the concerns with the change in this PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16839#issuecomment-570758153 

I am reopening this issue, and re-read the arguments again to understand and propose the next steps.
