[whatwg/url] Document, possibly standardize, "plus" scheme convention (#230)

A new convention has arisen among URLs, as I'm sure many of you have seen, where the scheme specifies both a transport and protocol scheme, separated by a plus ("+") sign. 

For instance, Python users can install a package directly from a git repo using: `pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/mahmoud/boltons.git`. 

Given the number of transport-protocol combinations, and the straightforward meaning of most of them, documenting every single one seems excessive. Would it be worthwhile to capture this convention in the documentation? 

This usage pattern dates back several years already, and seems beneficial, so I figure it might be good to have it on the board next time the standards committee rolls around :) Thanks!
