Replace the manual authority scan with parser metadata.

Line 52 through Line 65 reparses untrusted URL syntax with character loops. This can diverge from WebKit URL parsing. It also treats % or xn-- in userinfo as host indicators.

Obtain the original host range from the URL parser, or expose that range from the parser. Do not retain a second authority parser here.

As per coding guidelines, “use real parsers instead of prefix stripping or regex heuristics for user input.”

In `@src/jsc/bindings/DOMURL.cpp` around lines 52 - 65, Replace the manual scheme,
slash, and authority scanning around the URL handling code with host/authority
range metadata produced by the existing URL parser; if unavailable, expose the
parsed range through that parser. Use the parser-derived range to construct the
authority substring and remove the duplicate character-loop parser, preserving
the existing downstream delimiter handling.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a regression case for the href setter.

Constructor and parsing assertions do not execute DOMURL::setHref at Line 136. Assign an encoded invalid host to url.href, then assert that the prior href remains unchanged.

Proposed test update 
     expect(new URL("https://\u{1F4A9}.com/?q=%E3%81#xn--a").href).toBe("https://xn--ls8h.com/?q=%E3%81#xn--a");
     expect(new URL("https://\u{1F4A9}.com/p%20q?xn--a").hostname).toBe("xn--ls8h.com");
     expect(new URL("https://\u{1F4A9}.com/xn--a/%41").pathname).toBe("/xn--a/%41");
+    const url = new URL("https://example.com/");
+    url.href = "https://x%6E--a.com/";
+    expect(url.href).toBe("https://example.com/");
   });

Based on learnings, invalid IDNA mutations are dropped during reparsing, so this must assert a no-op instead of a throw. As per coding guidelines, “Every behavioral change must include an automated regression test in the same change.”

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
