Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"42154"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42154"
 Customize: Restore ability to add Custom Link nav menu items for jump
 links and other URLs that were previously allowed.

 Simplify regular expression for checking URL validity to just do basic
 checks to confirm the value looks like a URL. Leave the complete
 validation to the server-side logic in
 `WP_Customize_Nav_Menu_Item_Setting::sanitize()` to avoid having to
 maintain two separate codebases for validating URLs.

 Props westonruter, SergeyBiryukov for testing.
 Amends [41697].
 See #32816.
 Fixes #42506 for 4.9.
