Support for fread() of file:// URI with spaces

[MichaelChirico]

Closes#7550.

I also confirm we can't use URLencode() (to avoid special-casing file://)

readLines(URLencode(u)) # Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection# In addition: Warning message:# In file(con, "r") :# cannot open file '/tmp/RtmpyAROdr/a%20dir/a.csv': No such file or directory

And that https? URIs will not have this issue:

I can't quite confirm the situation for ftps? URIs, but it seems like they might support spaces? I'm happy to punt until there's an actual user report, though.
