Issue Description:
When trying to retrieve a file with a developer access token (new Github token, like `ghp_xxxx`, the URL made by Foundation is not working.
The issue is visible when using a (valid) token on a private repository.
How to reproduce:
```
let path = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apple/swift/main/README.md"
let url = URL(string: path)!
let content = String(contentsOf: url)
// This is printing the content of the README from Swift compiler
let personalToken = "ghp_xxxx" // Use a real token here!
let pathWithToken = "https://(personalToken)@raw.githubusercontent.com/apple/swift/main/README.md" // Use a private repository instead otherwise any random token will be accepted here.
let urlWithToken = URL(string: pathWithToken)!
let contentWithToken = String(contentsOf: urlWithToken)
// This returns a 404
// But: running `curl` with the content of `pathWithToken` is working
```
This doesn't affect the `Package.swift` if using the same token, maybe because it runs `git` instead of cloning the repo using Foundation URLs?
