Use `bitreq::Url` for LSPS5 webhook URLs

Replace the custom LSPS5 URL parser with `bitreq::Url` while keeping the
LSPS5-specific HTTPS and length checks. This reduces bespoke parsing
logic and aligns accepted webhook URLs with the HTTP client's URL
handling.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit swaps a custom-built URL parser for a well-known library (bitreq::Url) when handling LSPS5 webhook URLs. The goal is to reduce home-grown parsing bugs and make accepted URLs match what the HTTP client actually understands. It keeps the rule that only HTTPS URLs are allowed and still enforces a length limit elsewhere. The change is a hardening/refactoring move rather than a fix for a known active vulnerability, though it could close gaps between the old parser and the real HTTP client.

Recommended action

Treat as a defensive hardening change. Review that bitreq::Url's accepted URL set does not introduce unexpected schemes, IDNA, or normalization behavior that conflicts with LSPS5 security assumptions. Confirm the existing length check is still applied before the URL is used. No urgent patch action is indicated absent a disclosed vulnerability.
