Description

Domains like ​http://www.müller.de/ are impossible to add in a URLField without writing direct punycode:
​http://www.xn--mller-kva.de/ the validator fails.

Possible suspects:

django.core.validators:

alnumurl_re = re.compile(r'^[-\w/]+$')

isAlphaNumericURL()

How should this be handled? Allow Punycode-Domains by default or make them optional?
Maybe an attribute like punycode=False can disable the default behavior of allowing it?

Does the patch from #9764 solve this? If so, can this be marked as a duplicate of that one?
