inets: export types documented for http_uri module

Also:

* Reuse type `inet:port_number()` in `http_uri` code and doc;

* Do not imply that http_uri module can properly handle UTF-8 encoded
  binaries, while it can't.

* Enrich function specifications in http_uri module;

* Fix http_uri doc re missing type definition for `Scheme`.
