Improve error handling when encountering invalid hostnames.
With the patch for bug 304904, hostnames containing invalid characters (such as
'%', '/', and '\\') are treated as unresolvable (NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST). It
would be better to report these hostnames as invalid instead of unknown. This
would allow us to do the following:
1) bypass URL fixup code (e.g., it makes no sense to try loading
www.www%2emozilla.org if www%2emozilla.org was rejected)
2) notify the user that invalid characters may be a sign of phishy activity

So is this still an issue? Bug 304904 implemented NS_ERROR_INVALID_HOST, right?
