 {{{esc_url()}}} adds '!http://' when it shouldn't.

 Line 4191 wp-includes/formatting.php states
     If the URL doesn't appear to contain a scheme, we presume it needs
 !http:// prepended (unless a relative link starting with /, # or ? or a
 php file).

 This is prepending !http:// to a relative url to a parent directory i.e.
 '''../path-to-page/'''

 Funtion needs ../ adding to the array or some regex code.
