Feature: Add URI parsing for GitHub repositories

[Lamparter]

📄 Description

We should add URI parsing to FluentHub as this will allow native support for handling and opening GitHub repos in FluentHub via the browser, in shell context menu APIs and external apps such as Files and the UWP Companion.

👥 Usage scenarios

Web URI

Here are a few proposals:

1. fluenthub://github.com/{Repo.Owner.Login}/{Repo.Name}
2. fluenthub://https://github.com/{Repo.Owner.Login}/{Repo.Name}
3. fluenthub://openRepository?repo={Repo.Owner.Login}/{Repo.Name}
4. fluenthub://openRepository?repo=https://github.com/{Repo.Owner.Login}/{Repo.Name}
5. fluenthub://{Repo.Owner.Login}/{Repo.Name}

Personally options 1 and 5 are my favourite. What do you think @0x5bfa?

🔙 Backward Compatibility

This does not change APIs and instead only introduces them.

FluentHub:///repo?files-community/Files sounds good to me. We use 'auth' for redirecting to the app when authenticating, this way can reserve path strings to use them ourselves.

Ooh yes forgot about the reserved strings. There's no user named 'auth' because it's reserved by GitHub though, this is the reason Files org is called 'files-community' and not just Files.

The reason i liked option 1 is because a) it looks like HTTP resource headers and b) it allows the user to put just put fluenthub:// in front of a GitHub URL to open FluentHub.
