url: change hostname regex to negate invalid chars
Regarding joyent/node#8520 This changes hostname validation from a whitelist regex approach to a blacklist regex approach as described in https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#host-parsing. url.parse misinterpreted `https://good.com+.evil.org/` as `https://good.com/+.evil.org/`. If we use url.parse to check the validity of the hostname, the test passes, but in the browser the user is redirected to the evil.org website.
