Link field should accept protocol-relative URLs

Problem/Motivation

This was forked from #2573635: Url::fromUri() should accept protocol-relative URLs → , which is where this very same thing was originally being solved. It was descoped to only add API support.

Link field only accepts external URLs with "http://" or "https://". It should also support protocol-relative URLs e.g "//example.com". Otherwise we're limiting URLs for no good reason, which is simply a Drupalism. See #2573635-44: Url::fromUri() should accept protocol-relative URLs → for a longer rationale.

Proposed resolution

Allow any valid URL to be linked.

Remaining tasks

  • Discuss how to handle the HTML5 validation, which by default does not accept URLs without a protocol.
  • Discuss the need of the double slash at the beginning of protocol relative URLs, accepting "example.com" as a valid external URL.
