Public bug reported:

Currently Birdie only detects URLs that start with http(s)://, but
Twitter uses a different algorithm. This is a problem for the character
count.

Twitter provides code for the detection in the following GitHub repos:

https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-objc
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-rb
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-java
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-js

We can use them as a base for Vala-based detection.
