Extend the list of URL schemes that can be overridden via registerProtocolHandler() to include "cabal", "dat", "did", "dweb", "ethereum", "hyper", "ipfs", "ipns", and "ssb".

Extending the list to include decentralized web protocols allows resolution of links to generic entities independently of the website or gateway that’s providing access to it.
