Use Addressable gem to handle URIs

This would cover #173 
It adds support for Asian URLs.
When I changed the validation for the URI format to Addressable, I thought that the value should not be escaped (it was introduced to establish compatibility with Asian URIs by eca92afb219791b928426c95b2556693db82b879). The value either is parsable as URI as is or not and in the latter case no valid URI.
What do you think?
I think we should merge this; my Loader PR has additional changes to more aggressively detect files vs remote URIs, so I think it can be taken care of there.
