config: update default URL regex

The old one is in some cases too liberal. The new one is stricter in
two ways:

1. The protocol list is now explicit, rather than matching anything://
2. Allowed characters are now limited to the "safe character set", the
   "reserved character set", and some from the "unsafe character set"

Furthermore, some of the characters are restricted in how/when they
are allowed:

1. Periods, commas, question marks etc are allowed inside an URL, but
   not at the end.
2. [ ], ( ), " " and ' ' are allowed but only when balanced. This
   allows us to match e.g. [http://foo.bar/foo[bar]] correctly.

`Mod4` etc) in key bindings are now recognized as being virtual, and
are automatically mapped to the corresponding real modifier. This
means you can use e.g. `Alt+b` instead of `Mod1+b`.
* Default URL regex changed to a much more strict variant
([#2016][2016]). You can manually set the [old
one](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/src/tag/1.21.0/foot.ini#L72), if
you prefer it over the new regex.
