Motivation
issue https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/1903.
Currently URL parsing returns a valid URL when an invalid URL is passed in (for "bogus" it returns "http://localhost/bogus"). Also there is no method that would return null instead of an exception if url parsing fails.
Solution
added parseUrl function to the URLUtils.kt, it tries to parse the URL using the passed string and, if unsuccessful, returns null
