credential: convert "url" attribute into its parsed subparts

The git-credential command requires that you feed it a
broken-down credential, which means that the client needs to
parse a URL itself. Since we have our own URL-parsing
routines, we can easily allow the caller to just give us the
URL as-is, saving them some code.

+`url`::

+	When this special attribute is read by `git credential`, the
+	value is parsed as a URL and treated as if its constituent parts
+	were read (e.g., `url=https://example.com` would behave as if
+	`protocol=https` and `host=example.com` had been provided). This
