Failure to open url with "C:\" in url

[rr326]

Configuration:

• Web browser and its version:
  Electron 1.6
• Operating system and its version:
  Windows 10
• PDF.js version:
  (These are pdfjs-dist)
  Works: v1.9.426
  Doesn't work: Latest - eg: 1.9.583
• Is an extension: No

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Try to open a file url: "file://C:\Users\John Doe\test.pdf"
   PDFJS.getDocument( "file://C:\Users\John Doe\test.pdf")...
   2.ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\C:\Users\John%20Doe\test.pdf"

I've spent a bunch of time on this, and I think there are two issues:

1. the encoded space, which is fixed in 8907
2. the file://C:... gets transformed to file:///C:... (extra slash), and then it later sees the / for the filesystem, and adds another c:\ to the front.

Note - this whole file://c:... works as expected in v1.9.426 (even with the encoded space).

Similar to #8907 . We have to decode the url using decodeURI to get the correct file system path. There is a PR for this issue #8928 .

this error still exists ... decodeURI is not working

path before decodeURI: /C:/User/1234/Desktop/a.pdf

after decodeURI, path is still the same

fs.lstat would transfrom it to C:\C:\User\1234\Desktop\a.pdf and then this error occurred
