Fix url.parse to handle malformed hostnames gracefully

Fixes #24812

Changes:
- Use domainToASCII instead of WHATWG URL constructor for hostname normalization
- Only apply IDNA conversion to non-IPv6 hostnames (skip for hostnames in [brackets])
- Add forbidden character validation for IPv6 hostnames (null, tab, newline, etc.)
- Throw ERR_INVALID_URL when:
  - domainToASCII returns empty string (e.g., hostnames with commas)
  - domainToASCII throws (e.g., invalid IDNA like soft hyphen)
  - IPv6 hostname contains forbidden characters (e.g., null bytes)
- This matches Node.js behavior for both lenient parsing and security validation

Key behavioral changes:
- MongoDB-style URLs with multiple IPv6 hosts no longer throw errors
- Malformed IPv6 addresses like [:::1] and [::banana] are preserved as-is
- Invalid IDNA characters (like soft hyphen \u00AD) correctly throw ERR_INVALID_URL
- IPv6 hostnames with forbidden characters (like null bytes) throw ERR_INVALID_URL
- Hostnames with forbidden characters (commas, etc.) throw ERR_INVALID_URL

Test updates:
- Added regression test for MongoDB URL parsing (#24812)
- Fixed url-parse-ipv6 tests to match actual Node.js behavior
- All url tests pass including test-url-parse-invalid-input.js
