HttpClientBuilder() should accept strings without serialization format

Currently, there are two versions of HttpClientBuilder(), one that takes a String and one that takes URI. The latter automatically prepends none+ to the URI but the former will just reject URL strings without a serialization format. It’s surprising for these two similar methods to have different accepted input - I think it’s better of the String version also automatically adds none+ when no format is specified. HttpClient.of already does this, so this is also confusing distinction between the builder and static factories.

I’ll go ahead and close this issue since the reported behavior seems reasonable, though possibly too easy to get mixed up.

Oops! Got the classes mixed up in my head 😦 I went from HttpClient to ClientBuilder instead of HttpClientBuilder. I guess ClientBuilder requiring format but not HttpClientBuilder makes sense. Though it might be worth thinking about the many ways of doing the same thing causing confusion in this case.
