Align UrlValidator to validate_url gem implementation

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!27194

Make use of the options attribute of the parent class ActiveModel::EachValidator.
Add more options: allow_nil, allow_blank, message.
Renamed 'protocols' option to 'schemes' to match the option naming from UrlValidator.

Closes #52898

to the GCP vm installations page

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ee!10701

there are other ways to benchmark performance.
