Opinionated URL validator.

- Does not support raw domains like `github.com`, though I wish there was a smart way to do so
- Defaults protocol-less URLs like `//github.com/` to HTTPs like `https://github.com/`
- Domains will always have trailing slashes
- Encode components

## API

### var url = validate(url)

```js
var validate = require('url-validator')

var url = validate('//github.com')
// => 'https://github.com/'
```

If the url is invalid, then `url` will be `false`
