Title:
  Improve URL detection

Status in Birdie:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
