    Regular expression in `scrub` produces incorrect results if URL path 
portion contains a bare '@'

    [Original issue](https://github.com/dscape/nano/issues/334)
    
    __browndav__
    In https://github.com/dscape/nano/blob/master/lib/nano.js#L64, (.*)@ is 
being used instead of the non-greedy (.*?)@ or ([^@]*)@ – this matches up 
until the last occurrence of @, rather than the first. If the URL's path 
component contains a bare @, the entire hostname and a portion of the path 
could be stripped. For example, scrub('https://foo:bar@host/foo/bar/@quux') 
will yield "https://XXXXXX:XXXXXX@quux"; instead of 
"https://XXXXXX:XXXXXX@host/foo/bar/@quux";.
    
    I can't see any way to exploit this beyond potentially hiding URL contents 
in logs, but admittedly haven't investigated closely.
