ec79c07b0f Add furst, a URL router for low-end hardware
Sits where the default browser used to and dispatches each URL to the
cheapest tool that can handle it: mpv for video, zathura for PDFs, a light
WebKit browser for reading, Firefox only when nothing else will do.

Rules live in ~/.config/furst/rules.toml and are matched in order. When a
rule's command is missing from $PATH the router falls through to the next
match, then to the default, so a config may name tools that do not exist
yet without breaking today.

- host patterns match apex plus subdomains, with = for exact and * for any
- paths glob case-insensitively, contains matches the raw URL
- {url} {url_enc} {host} {path} {scheme} placeholders, URL appended if unused
- terminal = true wraps a handler in $TERMINAL -e for TUI tools
- --explain shows the parse and every candidate in priority order
- --install registers a .desktop entry as the system default browser

Host parsing strips userinfo with rfind('@') so that
https://bank.example@evil.example/ routes on evil.example. Handlers are
exec'd rather than forked, leaving no process behind.
