credential: add function for parsing url components
All of the components of a credential struct can be found in
a URL. For example, the URL:
http://foo:bar@example.com/repo.git
contains:
protocol=http
host=example.com
path=repo.git
username=foo
password=bar
We want to be able to turn URLs into broken-down credential
structs so that we know two things:
1. Which parts of the username/password we still need
2. What the context of the request is (for prompting or
as a key for storing credentials).
This code is based on http_auth_init in http.c, but needed a
few modifications in order to get all of the components that
the credential object is interested in.
Once the http code is switched over to the credential API,
then http_auth_init can just go away.
