Markdown reader: cheaply reject bareURL before trying uri/emailAddress.

When Ext_autolink_bare_uris is enabled, bareURL is attempted before
str on essentially every word of prose; uri and emailAddress then
scan the word character by character before failing.  Since a bare
URI must contain ':' and an email address '@' before any whitespace,
we can reject most words with a single scan of the input Text ahead.

With -f markdown+autolink_bare_uris on a 512 KB benchmark this
reduces total allocation by 16% and runtime by 17%, with
byte-identical output.
