Python 3.7.6 urllib.parse changes break gabbi tests
Python 3.7.6 was released with a change to how urllib.parse will deal with "localhost:80".

3.7.5:

```python
>>> from urllib import parse
>>> parse.urlparse("foobar.com:999")
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='foobar.com:999', params='', query='', fragment='')
```

3.7.6

```python
>>> from urllib import parse
>>> parse.urlparse("foobar.com:999")
ParseResult(scheme='foobar.com', netloc='', path='999', params='', query='', fragment='')
```

See this bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue27657 and a related pull request: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16839

This breaks [gabbi.utils:host_info_from_target](https://github.com/cdent/gabbi/blob/8e02d4d2df99999e0eb8022f8fe99d7796f52151/gabbi/utils.py#L147-L169). It also apparently break a whole ton of other software out there in the world. This a) seems like the wrong fix, b) if it is indeed correct, is bad for a minor release.

Since gabbi only talks http, it can probably be fixed by branch on whether the target starts with `http` but some discussion is probably worth having before going down that route.
