form_urlencoded::ByteSerialize does NOT conform to the URL standard #927

As mentioned in the URL Standard here the percent-encode of a bytestream is defined as follows:

To percent-encode after encoding, given an encoding encoding, scalar value string input, a percentEncodeSet, and an optional boolean spaceAsPlus (default false):

On step 5.3.1 the spaceAsPlus parameter is used:

If spaceAsPlus is true and byte is 0x20 (SP), then append U+002B (+) to output and continue.

The issue here is that:

  1. The url crate does NOT have a spaceAsPlus parameter.
  2. The url crate encodes the SPACE character as a '+' per default, although the default behavior should actually be '%20'.

Another issue: #888

encode space to '%20' as per url standard
109e2f5 
Previously the space character was exclusively encoded to '+'. This is
wrong, as the URL Standard [0] specifies that the default is '%20'.
Another function has been introduced as well, which replicates the old
behavior and converts spaces to '+'.
Notice that this breaks the default behavior and could lead to bugs.
