[aur-dev][PATCH] Correctly handle package sources which do not validate as an url

php's parse_url does not handle proper rfc3986 URIs, specifically, it
does not handle the case of an empty authority such as file:/// or
local:/// and only handles the case of file by applying a special case
for file itself. These URIs are deemed "malformed" and return false.

When such URIs were used, we would end up always treating the package
source as a filename (despite that this is incorrect, since plain files
will be correctly handled by parse_url, we will correctly determine that
there is no schema, and we will go to the source_file_uri).

Instead, handle the case of a "malformed" URI by treating it as another
example of a source with a schema, and linking it as-is.

See https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2019-January/034782.html
for details.

This fixes the case of local:///, but are there other cases where php
would claim a malformed url where we would actually want to link to
cgit?

Should we just be dumb like makepkg and git/update.py, and check if it
has the string literal '://'? Given the other two places where a source
url might be handled don't even make a pretense of being proper rfc3986
parsers, this would at least mean we're highly consistent in our
behavior.
