url: use SafeSet to filter known special protocols
Avoids a maintenance hazard when reviewers assume that
`hostlessProtocol` and `slashedProtocol` are disjoint.
The following may be counter-intuitive:
```js
// These objects seem to have no keys in common
const hostlessProtocol = { 'javascript': true };
const slashedProtocol = { 'http': true };
// A reasonable reviewer may assumes bothTrue is never truthy
function bothTrue(lowerProto) {
return hostlessProtocol[lowerProto] && slashedProtocol[lowerProto];
}
// But
console.log(Boolean(bothTrue('constructor'))); // true
```
This change uses SafeSet instead of plain-old objects.
----
Rejected alternative:
We could have used object with a `null` prototype as lookup tables
so that `lowerProto` is never treated as a key into `Object.prototype`.
```js
const hostlessProtocol = { __proto__: null, 'javascript': true };
const slashedProtocol = { __proto__: null, 'http': true };
function bothTrue(lowerProto) {
return hostlessProtocol[lowerProto] && slashedProtocol[lowerProto];
}
console.log(Boolean(bothTrue('constructor'))); // false
```
