Description

The util was written years where some stuff did not exist (like IPv6) and some stuff was allowed which is discouraged and consider wrong (like .local).

What can be cleaned up:

• Use Validator's default schemes, there is no reason to exclude ftp
• Use default local URL validator
• Drop support for .local, it is discouraged, a specially-reserved TLD for mDNS and can cause issues on a heterogenous network.
