func ValidateHost(host string) (string, error)

ValidateHost validates and canonicalizes a host. TODO finish this Talk about canonicalization of cache keys. Is this required at all for git credential helpers? It seems safe to run "net/idna".ToASCII first.

Figure out if "net/http"'s conditional ToASCII call (see idnaASCII in https://golang.org/src/net/http/request.go?s=23078:23124)
is needed by us too.

1. Ports complicate canonicalization logic because in general we don't want to know about protocols used. 2. Go requires a dot in the host. It is stricter than what is accepted by net.Dial* functions (and (*net.Dialer).Dial* functions).
