http://dev/ no longer can connect because it gets forced to HTTPS

Reported by pjo...@tangamgaming.com, Oct 5 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3230.0 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://dev/site

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Setup an internal server with a hostname of dev
2. Setup an HTTP-only site on it
3. Try to access with Chrome v63

What is the expected behavior?
It should be able to load and view the site rather than try to be HTTPS due to the gTLD. It isn't a whatever.dev, it is just dev so it shouldn't be treated as HTTPS_ONLY.

What went wrong?
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT because it tries to use HTTPS because dev is on the HSTS preload list due to the gTLD of the same name.

Did this work before? Yes 61

`dev` may be a TLD, but it is still a domain assigned by ICANN and not safe to use for testing.

The only safe way to avoid issues is to use domains listed in RFC 2606 to avoid collisions with possible future domains:

                   .test
                .example
                .invalid
              .localhost
