Hidden service regexes about eotk HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Kevin!

That regular expression does not do what you think it does; it captures loosely-matched DNS-compliant (ie: I am not enforcing syntax checks / leading alphanumeric) hostnames (eg: "www.") and/or hostname+domainname (eg: "www.test.") and captures those to the servernamesubdomain variable.

You will note elsewhere in the code the onion-matching regexp:

\\b[a-z2-7]{16}(?:[a-z2-7]{40})?\\.onion\\b

I invite you to consider what 16 + 40, equals. :-)

However, this is all prettymuch moot until both STEM and OnionBalance get v3 support, hence this code is not functional nor supported, yet. See #23 for details.

Debugging tip: sometimes it's more clear to build a disposable configuration and see how the template finally renders, which should make matters more clear:

v3 onions always end with a "d", so \\b[a-z2-7]{16}(?:[a-z2-7]{39}d)?\\.onion\\b might be a better fit.
