Proposed change

system_health builds the database name with urlparse(instance.db_url).path. A generic URL parser treats # and ? in the password as structure, so the path — and with it the database name — comes out empty, and pg_database_size('''') fails with database "" does not exist. A / in the password corrupts it instead.

make_url is the parser SQLAlchemy already uses to open the connection, so the name now agrees with the connection in every case. Only the MySQL and PostgreSQL helpers use the value; the SQLite one ignores it and reads the size from pragma_page_count().

To help with the load of incoming pull requests:

urlparse treats a # or a ? in the password as structure, which leaves the
database name empty and makes the system health size query fail with
"database does not exist". make_url is the parser SQLAlchemy already uses
to open the connection, so it agrees with the connection in every case.
