Re: [whatwg/url] URLUtils is wrong for Location object (#61)

Looking at the setter in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#dom-location-protocol it seems to anticipate a change in the URL Standard where we sometimes return failure for bogus schemes. That will then result in an exception.

I've also noticed that browsers will change the scheme of data URLs and attempt to navigate, which would go against the HTML Standard. They also appear to use DOMException "SyntaxError" rather than TypeError. The exception we should probably change in the HTML Standard, but browsers might want to update to change the scheme less overall.
