RFR: 8294241: Deprecate URL public constructors

[Peter Firmstone]

I'm considering using one of the non parsing constructors, as Alan 
points out we're currently double parsing.  By the time the constructor 
is removed, I'm guessing there will be a RFC3986 URI implementation in 
the JDK, so we'll change to that when it happens.   Or if you decide to 
not deprecate one of the non parsing constructors, I'm good with that also.

Regards,

Peter.
