* bpo-16285: Update urllib quoting to RFC 3986

urllib.parse.quote is now based on RFC 3986, and hence
includes `'~'` in the set of characters that is not escaped
by default.

.. function:: quote(string, safe='/', encoding=None, errors=None)
Replace special characters in *string* using the ``%xx`` escape. Letters,
digits, and the characters ``'_.-'`` are never quoted. By default, this
digits, and the characters ``'_.-~'`` are never quoted. By default, this
function is intended for quoting the path section of URL. The optional *safe*
parameter specifies additional ASCII characters that should not be quoted
--- its default value is ``'/'``.
*string* may be either a :class:`str` or a :class:`bytes`.
.. versionchanged:: 3.7
Moved from RFC 2396 to RFC 3986 for quoting URL strings. "~" is now
included in the set of reserved characters.
The optional *encoding* and *errors* parameters specify how to deal with
non-ASCII characters, as accepted by the :meth:`str.encode` method.
*encoding* defaults to ``'utf-8'``.
