Fix WebDAV download auth for usernames with special characters

HTTP.download() was rewritten in 0fe31b0f04 to use fetch() and build the
Basic auth header itself via btoa(username + ':' + password), but the
username and password come from nsIURI.username/password, which are
percent-encoded. As a result, a username like "user@example.com" was
sent as "user%40example.com", causing a 401 on every WebDAV download for
any user with @, :, space, etc. in their username. Other request types
were unaffected because they go through xmlhttp.open(method, url, true,
username, password), which decodes internally.

Decode username and password in _parseURI() so the values returned can
be used directly for Basic auth (and as a side effect, fix the other
display/use sites that were getting the percent-encoded form).
