url.format not url-encode special characters in path

[Antronin]

I have file urls served by a 3rd party server, and their paths contains "{}" characters. If I say

var specURI = url.format(url.parse(uri_with_brackets));

the specURI will contain the brackets as is. However using these URLs in browsers or in an AJAX request results in Error code 500, as the special characters should be encoded.

@joyent/node-coreteam ... this is fixed in v0.12 but not in v0.10. Do we want to backport?

If trivial, yes.
