purple_url_parse() now gracefully handles a url which is wholly invalid. Previously, if sscanf() failed, it would assign *ret_host to g_strdup()'d garbage. Now it assigns it to NULL. This probably fixes more than a single issue, but specifically it fixes a crash which could occur when querying UPnP on a WR641G router in some situations because the router would lead us to look up the url "/ipc".
