[whatwg/url] URL dumb behavior (#623)

Could you please explain to me why are there special schemas for whatwg URL and why we cannot change from one protocol to another without a silent error?

Example
```
const url = new URL('es://localhost:9200')
url.protocol = 'http'
// outputs es://localhost:9200
```

Workaround
```
const url = new URL('es://localhost:9200')
url.protocol = 'httpx'
url.toString().replace(/httpx/, 'http')
// outputs http://localhost:9200
```

Why? I am really annoyed.
