- fix multiple vulnerabilities in af_proxy_http

- fix vulnerability in rewrite_relative_url() which prevented some URLs from being properly absolutized
- fetch_file_contents: validate all URLs before requesting them
- validate URLs: explicitly whitelist http and https scheme, forbid everything else
- DiskCache/cached_url: only serve whitelisted content types (images, video)
- simplify filename/URL handling code, remove and consolidate some less-used functions
