URL provider implementations and URL fetching facilities

An unfortunate side effect of how ClassWorlds and the URL handler implementations work is that we have to handle custom provider implementations in a bespoke factory pattern. This is due to the fact URL's SPI only respects the default classloader, and we are actively operating in a shared environment that is pre-configured at runtime.

As a result, much of this machinary could be mistaken for reinventing the wheel, but this is totally intentional by design to avoid edge cases or mutating the Maven enviromment outside the bounds of this specific plugin.
