url: sort the protocol schemes in rough popularity order

When looking for a protocol match among supported schemes, check the
most "popular" schemes first. It has zero functionality difference and
for all practical purposes a speed difference will not be measureable
but it still think it makes sense to put the least likely matches last.

"Popularity" based on the 2019 user survey.

Closes #5377
