url: be stricter about detecting schemes While the URL parser is very forgiving about what characters are allowed in each component, it's useful to be strict about the scheme so we don't accidentally interpret local paths with colons as URLs. This restricts schemes to containing alphanumeric characters, dashes, pluses, and dots (as specified in RFC 2396).
