When credentials are provided directly in the URL, e.g.:
https://username:password@www.example.com/
`location.href` strips out the auth part, but anchor links contain them, making
our `isLocal` computation broken. This fixes it by only looking at `origin`,
`pathname` & `search`.
Fixes jquerygh-2213
Closes jquerygh-2345
Prior to jQuery UI 1.14.1, hashes in anchor hrefs were used directly. In jquerygh-2307, that was changed - by decoding - to support more complex IDs, e.g. containing emojis which are automatically encoded in `anchor.hash`. Unfortunately, that broke cases where the panel ID is decoded as well. It turns out the spec mandates checking both. In the "scrolling to a fragment" section of the HTML spec[^1]. That uses a concept of document's indicated part[^2]. Slightly below there's an algorithm to compute the indicated part[^3]. The interesting parts are steps 4 to 9: 4. Let potentialIndicatedElement be the result of finding a potential indicated element given document and fragment. 5. If potentialIndicatedElement is not null, then return potentialIndicatedElement. 6. Let fragmentBytes be the result of percent-decoding fragment. 7. Let decodedFragment be the result of running UTF-8 decode without BOM on fragmentBytes. 8. Set potentialIndicatedElement to the result of finding a potential indicated element given document and decodedFragment. 9. If potentialIndicatedElement is not null, then return potentialIndicatedElement. First, in steps 4-5, the algorithm tries the hash as-is, without decoding. Then, if one is not found, the same is attempted with a decoded hash. This change replicates this logic by first trying the hash as-is and then decoding it.

2. Tabs: Properly handle decoded/encoded anchor hashes & panel IDs
Prior to jQuery UI 1.14.1, hashes in anchor hrefs were used directly. In
gh-2307, that was changed - by decoding - to support more complex IDs, e.g.
containing emojis which are automatically encoded in
anchor.hash.Unfortunately, that broke cases where the panel ID is decoded as well.
It turns out the spec mandates checking both. In the "scrolling to a fragment"
section of the HTML spec1. That uses a concept of document's indicated
part2. Slightly below there's an algorithm to compute the indicated part3.
The interesting parts are steps 4 to 9:
4. Let potentialIndicatedElement be the result of finding a potential
indicated element given document and fragment.
5. If potentialIndicatedElement is not null, then return
potentialIndicatedElement.
6. Let fragmentBytes be the result of percent-decoding fragment.
7. Let decodedFragment be the result of running UTF-8 decode without BOM on
fragmentBytes.
8. Set potentialIndicatedElement to the result of finding a potential indicated
element given document and decodedFragment.
9. If potentialIndicatedElement is not null, then return
potentialIndicatedElement.
First, in steps 4-5, the algorithm tries the hash as-is, without decoding. Then,
if one is not found, the same is attempted with a decoded hash.
This change replicates this logic by first trying the hash as-is and then
decoding it.
