This is a follow-up of bug 1850902.
This is about the part of processing on nsDocShell::AttemptURIFixup.
As Marco suggested in phabricator, it now seems to fixup uri and retry loading if it fails to load, but it might be better, especially for the web developer, to have it fail to load.
If the uri fixup is not needed, we can remove the code below.

We already disabled alternate fixup a few versions ago, so what the fixup is doing there is minor manipulation like fixing "://somehost" or "somehost..com"... that already happens in the address bar, so I think it'd be better to remove those magic transformations in the docshell.
