Second attempt at this. Fixed several bugs from the first attempt at
using quri.

Hunchentoot successfully compiles with this. If you still think I should build a compatibility layer, let me know.

The issue is not so much Hunchentoot, but existing libraries and
applications that try to pass PURI:URI instances as argument or that rely
on a PURI:URI instance to be returned from HTTP-REQUEST. The former is
relatively easy to fix, but fixing the latter would mean that that by
default, a PURI:URI would be returned and only if the user specifically
requests it - maybe by the way of setting a special variable or feature or
keyword argument, a QURI:URI would be returned instead.

Zach Beane ran the Quicklisp dist creation process with the previous
version of your change (
http://report.quicklisp.org/2015-07-10/failure-report.html) and found that
to cause many errors because many libraries depended on DRAKMA pulling PURI
as a dependency. I have not investigated how these failing libraries use
PURI, but it is probably safe to say that they'd need one of the two
suggested compatibility changes above to continue working.

Ok, I'll add the compatibility. Do you know which libraries require puri support?

I only have the error output that Xach sent. I would propose that DRAKMA
returns a PURI:URI unless the caller explicitly requests a QURI:URI.

Made the following changes:
 - use QURI:MAKE-URI instead of QURI.URI:MAKE-URI. The former is in the
 main namespace, and will instantiate the proper class, rather than just
 using the generic URI class.
 - Just store the uri parameter in unparsed-uri. We only ever use
 UNPARSED-URI if it is a string, and we don't mutate it so there is no
 need to copy it.
Add a special variable to control whether HTTP-REQUEST returns
a PURI:URI or a QURI:URI. By default returns a PURI:URI for backwards compatibility.
I would also replace alist-to-url-encoded-string, but quri doesn't have
a way to pass a custom url encoder. I don't know if anyone actually uses
that feature though.
