summary:
[3.13] gh-156713: Use the filesystem encoding in nturl2path (GH-156717)
(GH-157425)
urllib.request.pathname2url() and url2pathname() use the filesystem encoding
and error handler since gh-85168, but nturl2path, which implements them on
Windows before 3.14, was left unchanged. Paths containing surrogate
characters raised UnicodeEncodeError.
(cherry picked from commit 01599e203e25610421bb5df413f32fa0848f3ade)
