Title: Clean up URI parsing: second attempt, in the name of PHP 5.2.4

[Successor to https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/pull/1316]

Plug a few gaps in the URI parsing.

After the first attempt, I noticed that readme.rst says CodeIgniter now requires PHP 5.2.4. Excellent! This means PATH_INFO is now reliable , which allows some more cleanup (and hence removes the need to document the bug and its workarounds).

Thanks for timw4mail's feedback so far, which inspired me to remove the code which falls back to $_GET.
