Use GstUri to parse the destination URL and extract the username:password field (called "userinfo"). Then, split the userinfo from the colon (:). Lastly, URL-decode each of the resulting parts. NOTE: GStreamer 1.16 (Ubuntu 20.04) does NOT support extracting a URL-encoded userinfo field. This means that the username and password will be already decoded, and the splitting on ":" will happen at the first colon found, which won't work if the username itself had a colon. So, until we update to a newer Ubuntu/GStreamer version, THE USERNAME CANNOT CONTAIN A COLON. Also delete the unneeded function kms_is_valid_uri()`. Better to delegate that check to the GstUri class constructor, which validates the URI and ecides if it is valid or not.

What is the current behavior you want to change?
RecorderEndpoint is not able to push to a basic auth-protected HTTP server, because the GSTreamer element
curlhttpsinkdoesn't parse them from the URL, instead it expects them to be set as properties.What is the new behavior provided by this change?
Use GstUri to parse the destination URL and extract the

Also delete the unneeded function
kms_is_valid_uri(). Better to delegate that check to the GstUri class constructor, which validates the URI and decides if it is valid or not.How has this been tested?
Basic auth protected Python http-server.
