url: do not allow %00 to represent NUL in URLs

There is no reason to allow %00 to terminate a string, so do not allow it.
Otherwise, we end up returning arbitrary content in the string (that which is
after the %00) which is effectively hidden from callers and can escape sanity
checks and validation, and possible be used in tandem with a security
vulnerability to introduce a payload.
