[New-bugs-announce] [issue7787] Add an argument to test_support.open_urlresource to invalidate the cache

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <laxyf at yahoo.fr>:

The function "open_urlresource" never invalidates its cache.
If a file with same name is available in "Lib/test/data/", it is returned.

There's a snippet in test_normalization which tries to invalidate the cache, but it fails because it looks in the wrong location. (#7783)
