Regarding remaining failures, in PHP 7.1+ parse_url() was changed to be more restrictive and supports RFC3986 now, so it just returns false on urls like http://localhost.foobar.com\\@localhost/troll/http://localhost/ (from our tests). That's why tests fail on expecting exceptions from ```redirect()``` because ```redirect()``` returns url to index page.
We might want to throw exception in that case as well for consistency instead of redirecting to the same page here https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/blob/master/phpBB/includes/functions.php#L1712-L1716

This will fix tests on PHP 7.1 and PHP nightly builds.

parse_url() output in PHP 7.1+ and older versions (see screenshot).
