More generic URI handling

Mostly, this patch just makes gsturi accept ":" instead of "://", so it's more
generic. 

The more controversial part is the last bit. Currently the code in
gst_uri_handler_set_uri() pulls apart the URI, then puts it back together with
some mangling done by gst_uri_get_location(). There is no justification given
for this mangling in the documentation, and so I have no real idea why it's
being done. It looks incorrect to me though, regardless of this patch. So, I
change it to pull out the scheme using gst_uri_get_protocol() (which mostly
just canonicalises the URI scheme to lower case), and then append the rest of
the URI.
