[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-25673 -- Simplified URLField scheme detection.
This simplicaftion mitigates a potential DoS in URLField on Windows. The
usage of `urlsplit()` in `URLField.to_python()` was replaced with
`str.partition(":")` for URL scheme detection. On Windows, `urlsplit()`
performs Unicode normalization which is slow for certain characters,
making `URLField` vulnerable to DoS via specially crafted POST payloads.
Thanks Seokchan Yoon for the report, and Jake Howard and Shai Berger
for the review.
