[3.6] bpo-42967: only use '&' as a query string separator (GH-24297) (GH-24532)
bpo-42967: [security] Address a web cache-poisoning issue reported in
urllib.parse.parse_qsl().
urllib.parse will only us "&" as query string separator by default
instead of both ";" and "&" as allowed in earlier versions. An optional
argument seperator with default value "&" is added to specify the
separator.
