Parse an authority.

##### Synopsis

Defined in header `<boost/url/authority_view.hpp>`

    result< authority_view >
    parse_authority(
        string_view s);

##### Description

This function parses a string according to the authority grammar below, and returns an `authority_view` referencing the string. Ownership of the string is not transferred; the caller is responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the string extends until the view is no longer being accessed.

##### BNF

    userinfo      = user [ ":" [ password ] ]

    user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
    password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )

    host          = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

    port          = *DIGIT
