Joins all given URL segments together, then normalizes the resulting URL.
- Use `String.prototype.join('/')` to combine URL segments.
- Use a series of `String.prototype.replace()` calls with various regexps to normalize the resulting URL (remove double slashes, add proper slashes for protocol, remove slashes before parameters, combine parameters with `'&'` and normalize first parameter delimiter).
```js
const URLJoin = (...args) =>
args
.join('/')
.replace(/[\/]+/g, '/')
.replace(/^(.+):\//, '$1://')
.replace(/^file:/, 'file:/')
.replace(/\/(\?|&|#[^!])/g, '$1')
.replace(/\?/g, '&')
.replace('&', '?');
```
```js
URLJoin('http://www.google.com', 'a', '/b/cd', '?foo=123', '?bar=foo');
// 'http://www.google.com/a/b/cd?foo=123&bar=foo'
```
