[issue1153] File URIs aren't handled correctly in windows

[Bastian Doetsch]

New submission from Bastian Doetsch <bastian.doetsch at gmx.de>:

When adding repositories in MercurialEclipse, we translate entered strings resp.
chosen file system locations to URIs. 

On linux this always worked for me, e.g. the URI file:/home/bastian/blah was
parsed correctly.

On windows this doesn't work for URIs like
file:/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/blah as Mercurial quits e.g. clone with
the message

repository /C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/blah not found.

Adding a workaround to our code (currently is uses the java.io.File.toURI()
method) isn't hard, but it would be cleaner if file URIs were parsed the same on
both operation systems.
