libutil: fix double-encoding of URLs
If you have a URL that needs to be percent-encoded, such as
`http://localhost:8181/test/+3d.tar.gz`, and try to lock that in a Nix
flake such as the following:
{
inputs.test = { url = "http://localhost:8181/test/+3d.tar.gz"; flake = false; };
outputs = { test, ... }: {
t = builtins.readFile test;
};
}
running `nix flake metadata` shows that the input URL has been
incorrectly double-encoded (despite the flake.lock being correctly
encoded only once):
[...snip...]
Inputs:
└───test: http://localhost:8181/test/%252B3d.tar.gz?narHash=sha256-EFUdrtf6Rn0LWIJufrmg8q99aT3jGfLvd1//zaJEufY%3D
(Notice the `%252B`? That's just `%2B` but percent-encoded again)
With this patch, the double-encoding is gone; running `nix flake
metadata` will show the proper URL:
[...snip...]
Inputs:
└───test: http://localhost:8181/test/%2B3d.tar.gz?narHash=sha256-EFUdrtf6Rn0LWIJufrmg8q99aT3jGfLvd1//zaJEufY%3D

As far as I can tell, this happens because Nix already percent-encodes
the URL and stores this as the value of `inputs.asdf.url`.
However, when Nix later tries to read this out of the eval state as a
string (via `getStrAttr`), it has to run it through `parseURL` again to
get the `ParsedURL` structure.
Now, this itself isn't a problem -- the true problem arises when using
`ParsedURL::to_string` later, which then _re-escapes the path_. It is
at this point that what would have been `%2B` (`+`) becomes `%252B`
(`%2B`).
