Change member ownership

[RokerHRO]

I've implemented my ideas für #11 in a separate branch in my forked repo.

Please consider this merge request as "request for comments" on my changes:

• only one "owning" string member, the other members are non-owning and just point to certain parts of the (processed) URL.
• rename API functions to use the official names for the parts of a URL:
  • protocol -> scheme
  • hash -> fragment
• remove the functions / members with unclear semantics
  • path vs. pathname
  • host vs. hostname
  • query vs. search
• document which members might be NULL
• add support for IPv6 literals in hostname

Features still missing but shall come in future:

• decode percend-encoded octets (%xx)
• parse query string into list of name-value pairs
• (maybe) IDN support
• correct path parser, incl. path normalization ("/foo/../bar/./yuk" -> "/bar/yuk")

Thank you!

You can already review and comment the changes I made! :-)

What I'd still like to add is parsing the query string (incl. %-decoding) into an array (or linked list? what would you prefer?) of key-value pairs and adding access function for that.

@jwerle : I'd say it is ready for review now. :-)

The version number should be bumped, because my rewrite results in incompatible API change. ;-)
