Crash when `//` is used as Link's to

[rpominov]

What version of Remix are you using?

1.12.0

Are all your remix dependencies & dev-dependencies using the same version?

• Yes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add this code to a page <Link to="//">...</Link>
2. Open the page in the browser

Same problem with some other values of to for example "http://", so I think this should be fixed by wrapping new URL() into a try..catch rather than checking for known fail cases.

Expected Behavior

Page doesn't crash, instead <a href="//">...</a> is rendered

Actual Behavior

The page crashes with a error Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL

To give more context:

We at @webstudio-is have a case where the to value comes from user input. We would like to just have a link that doesn't work in this case instead of entire app crushing.

This sounds related to a bug I had filed a few months ago #4422

Looks like they have it fixed for an upcoming version.

This is fixed by remix-run/react-router#10367 and will be available once Remix 1.16.0 is released.
