Description

Servlet 6.0 had a [clarification](https://github.com/jakartaee/servlet/issues/18) for the decoding and normalization of URI paths

As a result, section [3.5.2 URI Path Canonicalization](https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.0/jakarta-servlet-spec-6.0.html#uri-path-canonicalization) was added to Servlet 6.0 Specification

However, there is no TCK test in this area.

Greg had a unit [test](https://github.com/jakartaee/servlet/pull/424/files#diff-3b91797f499f51f1a03597a1dc3b80108e8c667416ef3306746c6535ab86d058) but I think a formal TCK is needed.
