Before this patch, if a URL does not start with the protocol
name/scheme, effective URLs would be prefixed with upper-case protocol
names/schemes. This behavior might not be expected by library users or
end users.
For example, if `CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL` is set to "https". And the
URL is "hostname/path". The effective URL would be
"HTTPS://hostname/path" instead of "https://hostname/path".
After this patch, effective URLs would be prefixed with a lower-case
protocol name/scheme.
Closes#597

curl has been accepting URLs using slightly wrong syntax for a long
time, such as when completely missing as slash "http://example.org" or
missing a slash when a query part is given
"http://example.org?q=foobar".
curl would translate these into a legitimate HTTP request to servers,
although as was shown in bug #1206 it was not adjusted properly in the
cases where a HTTP proxy was used.
Test 1213 and 1214 were added to the test suite to verify this fix.
The test HTTP server was adjusted to allow us to specify test number in
the host name only without using any slashes in a given URL.
