/*
The intent of this class to encode arbitrary URLs into one 'segment'
of a new URL. We escape many special chars like /\?&% to make sure that
this encoded version is only one segment.

We would like the above URL to be reasonably legible if possible.
However it's also nice if it's short.

Common URL format is:

  http://www.foo.bar/z1234/b_c.d?e=f&g=h

this suggests we should have short encodings for  a-zA-Z0-9./?&

The transform table is:

a-zA-Z0-9_=+-. unchanged
^               ,u
%               ,P
/               ,_
\               ,-
,               ,,
?               ,q
&               ,a
http://         ,h
.pagespeed.     ,M

everything else ,XX  where XX are hex digits using capital letters.
