stdlib: Update uri_string documentation (HTML 5.2)
- Original link to HTML 5.0 specification was broken as the
document was moved when later revisions were released.
- Form-urlencoded query string handling conforms to the
HTML 5.2 specification that references WHATWG URL
(10 Jan 2018).
- HTML 5.2 does not specify handling of non-UTF-8
form-urlencoded query strings, but it is still supported
as described in HTML 5.0.
