Allow hyphens at the beginning of domain components, except for the last domain component.

This is an intentional relaxation of the rules from RFC 1738 to accommodate real-world URLs like http://-kol.deviantart.com/ and http://-tumblrprincess.tumblr.com/.

BUG=31060
TEST=Type one of the above URLs in the Chrome omnibox and hit enter; you should navigate, not search.

I can't load those URLs even by link clicks. Are the functions you're changing
used by that code path (I expected it to just be the omnibox).

Let me guess, you're on Linux.

I think there are other, system-level/network-stack-level problems on Linux.  On
Windows, I can load those URLs fine with link clicks already, and this change
allows them to be loaded from the omnibox too.
