fix($browser): normalize inputted URLs

Calls to `$browser.url` now normalize the inputted URL ensuring multiple
calls only differing in formatting do not force a browser `pushState`.

Normalization is done the same as the browser location URL and may
differ per browser and may be changed by browsers. Today no browsers
fully normalize URLs so this does not fix all instances of this issue.

See angular#16100
Closes angular#16606
