[url] URL spec change on host setter. (#93)

Following discussion here : https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=551901

Note that clarification has been made here https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/75.

Bug as been filled https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151613 to change Safari "correct intuitive" behavior.

Host setter is barely usable today as it is not much different from hostname. Host is a composite value o hostname+port, setter on this composite attribute should call setters on underlying URL parts.
The host setter should reset to the scheme default port.

current spec (and current FF/Chrome impl.):
var a = new URL("http://www.google.com:8888")
var b = new URL("http://www.wikipedia.org")
a.host = b.host
"www.wikipedia.org"
a.host == b.host
false

Modifying the spec would lead to return true here.
