hostname only from entityID URL

[Szerb, Tamas]

I understand this intention, but breaks the standard, since eg:

http://sp.example.org:800/sp
and
https://sp.example.org:4430/sp

will be considered the same SP as I understand.

I recommend to remove that line, the standard allows full qualified URLs,
so the shib IdP should does.

Cheers,

Tamas
