Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I accidentally used `http://127.0.0.1:9099` instead of `127.0.0.1:9099` when setting `FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST`.

Even though the emulator thew an error like below, it still took me a while to figure out what I did wrong 🤦 :
```
FirebaseAppError: Error while making request: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http. Error code: ENOTFOUND
at C:\Users\PATH\firebase-admin-node\lib\utils\api-request.js:268:19
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
at async main (file:///C:/Users/PATH/auth.js:12:5) {
errorInfo: {
code: 'app/network-error',
message: 'Error while making request: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http. Error code: ENOTFOUND'
},
codePrefix: 'app'
}
```

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Throw an error message indicating that `http` and `https` should not be included when setting `FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST`. Found a similar logic in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-admin-node/blob/a46086b61f58f07426a6ca103e00385ae216691d/src/storage/storage.ts#L51-L56

Research direction

Search the repository for FIREBASE_AUTH_EMULATOR_HOST handling and compare it with the validation logic linked in src/storage/storage.ts. Confirm the expected host format and add the requested diagnostic for http or https prefixes, then run the relevant authentication tests to verify the invalid setting is reported clearly.
