Provide internal API for special schemes and thin public wrappers for user input and non-routed URLs

Problem/Motivation

As part of #2407505: [meta] Finalize the menu links (and other user-entered paths) system β†’ we have introduced several custom URI schemes to unify the storage of URIs in Drupal:

  • entity:
  • user-input:
  • base: (previously base://)

We have lots of magical string checking all over for these.

Proposed resolution

  • Introduce class constants for these three special schemes.
  • Convert internal (and string-parsey-magic) uses of the schemes to use the class constants.
  • Consider leaving non-internal uses of the schemes as strings.

Remaining tasks

Discuss.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

Addition of class constants to Url, etc.
