Extract URLs from text

Finds every http and https URL and strips the sentence punctuation that gets attached to the end — the thing that makes hand-extracted links 404.
How to use the extract urls from text
A URL at the end of a sentence is followed by a full stop, and a URL in brackets is followed by a closing bracket, and neither is part of the address. Naive extraction includes them, producing links that look right and fail. Trailing `.,;:!?)]}` are removed here. The limitation worth knowing is that a URL genuinely ending in a bracket — some Wikipedia article titles do — loses it, which is unavoidable without understanding the context. Bare domains without a scheme are not matched, because `example.com` in prose is far more often a sentence than a link.
