 *
 *    scheme://[[userinfo]@]foo.com[:port]]/[path][?query][#fragment]
 *
 *  and relative-refs like
 *
 *    [path][?query][#fragment]
 *
 * Any optional elements portions not present in the original URI are
 * left set to NULL in the resulting evhttp_uri.  If no port is
 * specified, the port is set to -1.
 *
 * Note that no decoding is performed on percent-escaped characters in
 * the string; if you want to parse them, use evhttp_uridecode or
 * evhttp_parse_query_str as appropriate.
 *
 * Note also that most URI schemes will have additional constraints that
 * this function does not know about, and cannot check.  For example,
 * mailto://www.example.com/cgi-bin/fortune.pl is not a reasonable
 * mailto url, http://www.example.com:99999/ is not a reasonable HTTP
 * URL, and ftp:username@example.com is not a reasonable FTP URL.
 * Nevertheless, all of these URLs conform to RFC3986, and this function
 * accepts all of them as valid.

 * @param flags Zero or more EVHTTP_URI_* flags to affect the behavior
