Uri paths with non-Ascii chars on Unix changed in 5.0

[MihaZupan]

Uri paths with non-Ascii chars on Unix changed in 5.0

Absolute Unix file paths that contained non-Ascii characters were parsed incorrectly on Unix systems, resulting in duplications in the output. Fixed in dotnet/runtime#36429

Version introduced

Net 5.0

Old behavior

new Uri("/üri")

AbsoluteUri: "/%C3%BCri/%C3%BCri" // Note the additional "/%C3%BCri" at the end
ToString: "/üri/üri" // Note the additinal "/üri" at the end

New behavior

new Uri("/üri")

AbsoluteUri: "/%C3%BCri"
ToString: "/üri"

Reason for change
