Previously parse() only recognised the local:// scheme. A
file:///path URL (the standard scheme used by browsers, text
editors, and many CLI tools) would be treated as an unknown
scheme and fall through to the 'unknown scheme → local'
fallback in for_path(), which works but is silent.

Now parse() explicitly handles file:// as an alias for local://,
making the VFS path normal form 'local://' after parsing.

Tests (1 new in vfs::path::tests):
  - parse_file_scheme_is_alias_for_local

Total: 1279 passing (was 1278; +1 new).
