Refactor checkFileTypes

- Don't check the protocol in `checkFileTypes`, it should be doing one
    thing only, and that is check whether the URL ends with a particular
    file extension.
- Raise an error when a URI object can't be created from the passed in URL

Adds new function `isAllowedProtocolForMedia` which checks whether the
URL points to a file on the file system (`file:`), is in a Chrome
extension or uses HTTPs.

Use that in `shouldRenderMediaFromURL` to filter out URLs that shouldn't
be rendered.

Re-add utility methods to the `u` object so that 3rd party plugins can
use them.
