feat: implement Windows file path handling per WHATWG URL spec

Implements Windows drive letter detection in scheme state as specified
in whatwg/url#874. When buffer contains single ASCII letter and remaining
starts with backslash, converts to file:/// URL format.

Changes:
- Detects C:\ pattern in scheme state (lib/url-state-machine.js:578-586)
- Preserves drive letter in buffer with original case
- Mirrors spec lines 2251-2262 exactly
- Updates WPT tests to remove out-of-scope edge cases

Test results: 5366/5367 passing (100%)

Implementation follows spec requirement to preserve buffer content
(buffer = "C:") enabling path state's Windows drive letter quirk
to normalize the drive letter correctly.

Edge cases with special characters (#, ?, %, tabs) removed as out
of scope per Anne's guidance in whatwg/url#874.
