They were never officially allowed and slipped in only due to sloppy
parsing. Spaces (ascii 32) should be correctly encoded (to %20) before
being part of a URL.
The new flag bit CURLU_ALLOW_SPACE when a full URL is set, makes libcurl
allow spaces.
Updated test 1560 to verify.

CURLU_NO_AUTHORITY is intended for use with unknown schemes (i.e. not
"file:///") to override cURL's default demand that an authority exists.

Double-underscored or underscore plus uppercase letter at least.
... as they're claimed to be reserved.

Fixes#4254Closes#4255
In order for this API to fully work for libcurl itself, it now offers a
CURLU_GUESS_SCHEME flag that makes it "guess" scheme based on the host
name prefix just like libcurl always did. If there's no known prefix, it
will guess "http://".
Separately, it relaxes the check of the host name so that IDN host names
can be passed in as well.
Both these changes are necessary for libcurl itself to use this API.
