CLI version: Accept a domain by default, not a URL

[Matt Giuca]

The Command-Line version currently takes a URL as either an argument or a prompt, and strips out just the domain name for use in the SGP algorithm. To allow more general behaviour, it should take a "domain" (no mangling of the domain is done; it is directly passed to the SGP algorithm). That would let you use any arbitrary string as a "domain", such as "my shoe phone" (to generate the password for your shoe phone).

Use of a URL, which will be mangled by sgp.domain.url_to_domain, should be an optional feature (-u).

Is this change actually a good idea or not? In my usage of SGP, I tend to only use valid domain names anyway.

For example, I would use my-shoe-phone rather than "my shoe phone" just to be clear. If you are going to use a valid domain name, then the mangling won't matter. Therefore, there is no need to change the behaviour.

I would probably mark this as wont fix.

Oops, turns out setting this to "Opinion" makes it not appear in the open bugs list.

Not a good idea.
