[patreon][error] HTTP request failed: MissingSchema

[espressoelf]

When using https://www.patreon.com/home (download all posts from followed artists) as source, the downloader stops after 20 posts with the following (really long) error:

[patreon][error] HTTP request failed:  MissingSchema: Invalid URL 'www.patreon.com/api/stream?include=user%2Cimages%2Cattachments%2Cuser_defined_tags%2Ccampaign%2Cpoll.choices%2Cpoll.current_user_responses.user%2Cpoll.current_user_responses.choice%2Cpoll.current_user_responses.poll%2Caccess_rules.tier.null&fields%5Bpost%5D=change_visibility_at%2Ccomment_count%2Ccontent%2Ccurrent_user_can_delete%2Ccurrent_user_can_view%2Ccurrent_user_has_liked%2Cembed%2Cimage%2Cis_paid%2Clike_count%2Cmin_cents_pledged_to_view%2Cpost_file%2Cpublished_at%2Cpatron_count%2Cpatreon_url%2Cpost_type%2Cpledge_url%2Cthumbnail_url%2Cteaser_text%2Ctitle%2Cupgrade_url%2Curl%2Cwas_posted_by_campaign_owner&fields%5Buser%5D=image_url%2Cfull_name%2Curl&fields%5Bcampaign%5D=avatar_photo_url%2Cearnings_visibility%2Cis_nsfw%2Cis_monthly%2Cname%2Curl&fields%5Baccess_rule%5D=access_rule_type%2Camount_cents&page%5Bcursor%5D=2019-10-04T15%3A03%3A00&filter%5Bis_following%5D=true&json-api-use-default-includes=false&json-api-version=1.0': No schema supplied.

My quick & dirty hack is adding

        if(url.find("http", 0, 4) == -1):
            url = "https://" + url;

to extractor/common.py line 78, but that probably should be done elsewhere / better.

I've pushed a possible fix with 6abe5f5, but can't confirm if it actually works (no Patreon subscriptions.) Could you test this and report back if the error still persists?

I've installed the dev version via pip install --upgrade https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/archive/master.zip and the error seems to be fixed. Thank you.
