[issue42878] urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.is_suburi does not care about order

[Yair Frid]

New submission from Yair Frid <fridyair at gmail.com>:

In docs, it mentions that the function returns true if the base is a 'suburi' of test, but in reality, if is_suburi(base, test) then is_suburi(test, base) which is wrong in most cases (other than where base ~= test, meaning they are the same location)
I am unsure which versions of python are affected, but i suspect most of them (although we probably shouldn't backport this fix?)
