Instead of relying on the implicit URL constuctor. Parsing should
never fail here as urlString before adding the suffix is already
parsed above, and the suffix should only be a valid query string.
Previously, <a> elements were frequently invalidated because
`set_the_url()` was called by `reinitialize_url()`, which is a
preparation step in every HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils function. As a
result, styles were unnecessarily invalidated each time any of these
functions were invoked without changing the URL.
There are essentially 3 URL parsing AOs defined by the spec:
1. Parse a URL
2. Encoding parse a URL
3. Encoding parse a URL and serialize the result
Further, these are replicated between the Document and the ESO.
This patch defines these methods in accordance with the spec and updates
existing users to invoke the correct method. In places where the correct
method is ambiguous, we use the encoding parser to preserve existing ad-
hoc behavior.
A couple of reasons:
- Origin's Host (when in the tuple state) can't be null
- There's an "empty host" concept in the spec which is NOT the same as a
null Host, and that was confusing me.
