Reverted #148

Sounds good to me, having replicasets working is probably more important than passwords with an '@' in them as its easier to change your password than your replicaset architecture :)

The mongodb driver requires auth values be URI encoded:
mongodb/node-mongodb-native@0440630

This uses node's built-in url module to encode the auth portion, by
parsing and re-formatting it, which causes special characters to get URI
encoded properly:
https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_escaped_characters

This is all a bit silly since mongodb just takes our passed uri, and
runs it through the same url parser again, but not before explicitly
erroring on '@' characters in the uri.

This is similiar to #148 (reverted by #297), but with much less code,
and hopefully less breakage. Also, note that `uri_decode_auth` is no
longer needed. That was removed in the above referenced
node-mongodb-native commit.

I've tested this on usernames and passwords with @, !, +, and a space.

Presumably this would also work with usernames and passwords that are
already URI encoded (since parseUrl will simply unescape it, and
formatUrl will escape it again).
