Issue:
Modules with unicode characters in their name 404 on the interactive development server
#### Problem Description
When generating docs for modules with unicode characters in them, hosting them with `http.server` works fine. Links to those modules within the generated documentation work fine as well. However, using pdoc's builtin development server, links to these modules fail with errors like

```
Module 'cr%C3%A8me_br%C3%BBl%C3%A9e' not found
```

The issue is that URL escape sequences are not properly parsed. I will submit a PR for this shortly.

#### Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Create a module with unicode characters (like ä, é, ó, ß, ü) in its name
2. Run the pdoc development server
3. Try to click a link that links to this module

#### System Information
```

pdoc: 15.0.1 (+6, commit 85503a1)
