fix: handle URL objects as column field values (redux)

[dhritzkiv]

Description of change

Fixes #5762
See previous PR (which was reverted) #5771 due to #6142

This time, URL isn't imported from the url module (which isn't present in React Native or browser environments). Instead, it's optionally accessed on the globalThis (if present) object, which is supported in node v.10+ and modern browser environments.

Would something like #5097 fix this & other cases where object are passed?

Hmm. Could be. Looking through the code, isPlainObject should return false for an instance of URL, since Object.prototype.toString.call(url) would return '[object URL]'.

I'll pull that branch down locally, add the tests from this PR, and let you know.

I think that branch is so outdated that tests won't run properly. :(

I believe this should be fixed on the master branch now. I've included your tests.

I'll be closing this PR.
