Problem 1: incorrect dead status

Diffs:

IABot is commonly (though not always) marking this domain as dead when it's working. It's one of the Memento-based archive services, the National Archives of the UK.

Problem 2: {{dead link}} inserted into the middle of a URL

Problem 3: archive-url is mangled

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gallon&type=revision&diff=768949485&oldid=768941110

In the second cite template the "archive-url" got mangled like this: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110207120946/https:///

So problem one is likely to be solved since it now recognizes that service as an archive. Problem 2, has a new problem.

Problem 2 is fixed, but problem 3 is not a fault of IABot.

If you look closely, the URL is mangled and broken. IABot cannot parse the URL. Also, a web browser can't open it either.

Looking more closely, some browsers can handle the single slash and so can the web archiving services, so I'll add the same support to IABot's URL sanitizer.
