Test

Behavior of URLUtils.protocol() for some JavaScript URLs disagrees with the behavior in Chrome version 71.0.3578.98 and Firefox version 64.0. For instance, the URLUtils.protocol() for "javascript://:%0aalert(2)" and "javascript://:%0dalert(3)" returns ":" instead of "javascript:".

See attached test case.

URLUtils is our implementation of https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#htmlhyperlinkelementutils which relies on URL parsing.

r=me if the bots are happy. Note that it'd be nice if the test checked that the javascript ran without the filter.
