 While working on #23367, I found 14 places in core that overwrite
 `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']`, which causes problems when trying to use it
 elsewhere and I don't know which version is going to make an appearance.

 I propose either switching from overwriting `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` to
 using a local var when we need to, or creating a filter that's accessible
 everywhere if we need the modified value to use elsewhere.
