Get url parameters as as a JS Location object complete with query params
/**
* Created by Tim on 9/5/15.
* Special thanks to James Padolsey:
* http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/parsing-urls-with-the-dom/
*
* Seriously, why didn't I think of that???
*
* Pretty much the same code as link above. Cleaned up the regex a bit to avoid
* false errors in IDEs. Added some checks so we default to the document
* location if nothing is passed. I also check to see if the string passed is a
* valid URL. If not, we return an empty object.
