Comment:

 In [changeset:"8672"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="8672"
 Introduce BP_XProfile_Field_Type::pre_validate_filter(), and use in URL
 field type

 The pre_validate_filter() method allows field types to intercept field
 values,
 before they are run through the is_valid() validation routine, and
 optionally
 modify them.

 BP_XProfile_Field_Type_URL uses this filter to silently add the 'http://'
 protocol to submitted values before run through the validation regex
 (which
 requires the protocol). The result is a smoother UX, as users are not
 required
 to enter the protocol in order to have their field value saved.

 To make it possible for protocol-less values to be submitted on the
 profile
 edit form, the 'type' attribute of the URL field was changed from 'url' to
 'text' (with a 'url' inputtype). With 'type=url', modern browsers require
 a
 fully-qualified URL before allowing the form to be submitted.

 Fixes #5501
