Issue:
sourcemaps always forced to be relative even for absolute paths and http/https/file locations
    "parcel-bundler": "^1.12.4",

In parcel-bundler/src/utils/loadSourceMap.js The code always assumes that source maps are relative to the asset it is describing, which is not always the case.

For example, if the source map sources item starts with "/" it should probably not use the relative scheme. Source maps that start with http/https should be passed through and those with file: could be passed through or resolved (parcel could choose or perhaps a switch).

For example, this fixes the absolute path issue:

```js
     if(source.startsWith("file:///")) source = source.slice(7) // triple slash is also absolute
    try {
              let sourceFile = path.isAbsolute(source) ? // CHECK FOR ABSOLUTE PATH HERE
                source:
                path.join(
                path.dirname(filename),
                sourceMap.sourceRoot || '',
                source
              );
```

Is this something that makes sense to fix?

This PR implements the removal of `file://` and support for absolute paths in sourcemap comments.

This does seem to be a very niche edge case but apprarently it happens so this PR implements it.

Fixes #4316
