http: disallow two-byte characters in URL path

CVE-2018-12116
Backport of b961d9f to 6.x

Original commit:
  This commit changes node's handling of two-byte characters in
  the path component of an http URL. Previously, node would just
  strip the higher byte when generating the request. So this code:

  ```
  http.request({host: "example.com", port: "80", "/Ｎ"})
  ```

  would request `http://example.com/.`
  (`.` is the character for the byte `0x2e`).

  This is not useful and can in some cases lead to filter evasion.
  With this change, the code generates `ERR_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS`,
  just like space and control characters already did.
