url: improve port validation

If a port is not a number, throw rather than treating the `:` that
delineates the port as part of the path. This is consistent with WHATWG
URL and also mitigates hostname-spoofing.

Concerns about hostname-spoofing were raised and presented in excellent
detail by pyozzi-toss ([email protected]/Security-Tech Team in Toss).
