Tikalinkextract 0.0.3

Tikalinkextract 0.0.3 adds the ability for users to use custom protocols.

This commit gives users the ability to specify custom protocols in an extensions file so that uri-types that may not be as well-known can be identified by the link scanner. Examples might include those used by content management systems as internal mechanisms of accessing information.

An extension file might looks as follows:

{
	"Extensions": [
		"pw://",
		"info:ark/",
		"info:pronom/",
		"info:hdl/"
	]
}

And using the extensions-test folder distributed with the tool, can be tested as follows: ./tikalinkextract --file extensions-test/ -extensions "extensions.json" 2> /dev/null where the output will look like:

extensions-protocols.txt, pw://somedata.dat
extensions-protocols.txt, info:ark/somedata.dat
extensions-protocols.txt, info:pronom/somedata.dat
extensions-protocols.txt, info:hdl/somedata.dat
