bug#1337: crash on going into non-existing dir with find-file

[xah lee]

 using a
This causes a hard crash.

Steps:

1. eval (find-file "file:///Users/xah/web/emacs/apple_pc_kb_diff.html")
then you'll go into a empty buffer.

2. now M-x find-file, hit Enter. Now i expect to go to the dir this  
file is located. (note that the file doesn't exist yet)

3. emacs crashed.

am pretty sure this is 100% reproducible. It crashed 3 times on me.

The problem occured because i was trying to open a local file, where  
the file path happend to be a url scheme path. Apparently, find-file  
does not recognize url scheme local files, but find-file-at-point  
auto launch browser when the file is url scheme. In any case, i got  
confused a bit because i know the file exist but i got a empty  
buffer. So i tried to go into th dir to see where exactly emacs think  
is the path, then crash.
