Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Some of new FTP servers are responding with 229 Entering Extended passive mode response when PASV command is sent.. Because of this sendcmd('PASV') is sending error though it's a accepted response. Tested with filezilla manually where it's accepting the same. So we need to make changes in ftplib to accept & parse Extended mode with 'PASV' command. Please help to review and merge.

Research direction
Start with Python's ftplib handling of sendcmd('PASV') and review the linked work in gh-127477 and gh-150236. Done means the accepted 229 response is parsed for the FTP NAT scenario without breaking existing PASV behavior.
