Improve G page distinction between footer and results

Pages in the Whoogle footer that by default route to Google pages were
previously being removed, but caused results that also routed to similar
pages to no longer be accessible. This was due to the removal of the
'/url' endpoint that Google uses for each result.

To fix this, the result link is now parsed so that the domain of the
result can be checked against the disallowed G page list. Since results
are delivered in a "/url?q=<domain>" format -- even for pages to
Google's own products -- and the footer links are formatted as
"<product>.google.com", footer links are removed and result links are
parsed correctly.

Fixes #747
