`uri` field of digest authentication incorrectly filled when the URL contains semicolons in path

[nicomem]

When there is a semicolon (;) in the request URL path, and when doing HTTP Digest Authentication, requests incorrectly fills the uri field of the Authorization header by ignoring the rest of the path.

As per RFC 7616, the uri field contains the "Effective Request URI", which should contain the same path we are trying to access.

Expected Result

The uri field should contain the same path as the request when it contains semicolons.

Actual Result

The uri field removes everything from the first semicolon it finds in the path, up to the parameters.

Reproduction Steps

The following example is where I found this problem: this tries to add 2 releases to a MusicBrainz collection.
The API uses a semicolon as a separator for adding multiple releases at once.

The following will return a 401 since the collection is private, but since the problem is in the uri field, it is not a problem to reproduce the bug.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

res = requests.put("https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/collection/53f4a001-eb45-4b72-9ec5-41109e88710d/releases/7dc2cfbd-5bd8-4ebc-b20b-4344985431da;38347564-5ef3-46dd-ad87-fe6d6f1e7b19?fmt=json&client=manual-python-requests-test", auth=HTTPDigestAuth("username", "password"))

res.request.headers['Authorization']
>>> [...] uri="/ws/2/collection/53f4a001-eb45-4b72-9ec5-41109e88710d/releases/7dc2cfbd-5bd8-4ebc-b20b-4344985431da?fmt=json&client=manual-python-requests-test" [...]

Only the first release has been kept! The query parameters are however untouched, so this is not a simple "I see semicolon, I ignore everything after".

Also, doing the same request with curl works as expected, as it correctly fills the uri field:

curl -X PUT "https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/collection/53f4a001-eb45-4b72-9ec5-41109e88710d/releases/7dc2cfbd-5bd8-4ebc-b20b-4344985431da;38347564-5ef3-46dd-ad87-fe6d6f1e7b19?fmt=json&client=manual-curl-test" --digest -u "username:password" -v

# [...] A lot of lines
> [...] uri="/ws/2/collection/53f4a001-eb45-4b72-9ec5-41109e88710d/releases/7dc2cfbd-5bd8-4ebc-b20b-4344985431da;38347564-5ef3-46dd-ad87-fe6d6f1e7b19?fmt=json&client=manual-curl-test" [...]

Also, the request works with requests if I manually escape the semicolons as %3B, but one shouldn't have to.
