goto_file_vsplit url behavior is unobvious about helix HOT 2 CLOSED

The strange behavior because once URL is found it stops further processing:

yeah that is a good catch we should probably just use continue instead of return in that case.

Besides, if the file is a valid URL it could not be opened. Which may be strange yet the behavior differs with the :open command.

I don't think this is actually something that happens in practice. Nobody names their file https://... and in those rare cases its ok to yank the selection and pase into :open

Note, http://xyz.abc after normalization is actually a http: directory with a file xyz.abc, which is still weird though.

UPD: file:// is also handled for url, so it's not really hard to "workaround" that.
