inverse of @uri

@uri does a nice job with multi-byte characters, e.g.:

"á" | @uri' -> "%C3%A1"

It seems that currently there is no support for the inverse of @uri. Since the inverse is quite tricky to code (as illustrated by the above), it would be helpful to have a builtin filter for performing the inverse operation.

jvp_hex_next from #373 may be useful for this.
