Added #14426: Makes all Manufacturer links dynamic, not just warranty lookup

[DrekiDegga]

Description

As requested in #14470, I'm retargeting for develop branch. I couldn't find an easy way to do this so I just started over. Deleted, reforked, made changes against the develop branch and retested on testing environment with debugging enabled.

This makes all manufacturer links dynamic just like warranty lookup.

Added #14426

PR Summary

• Extension of URL Validation Range
  Manufacturers URLs can now start with a variety of protocols, such as http://, https://, afp://, facetime://, file://, or irc://. This increased valid startings gives more flexibility to input URLs for manufacturers.

• Method Renaming and Updating
  The method previously named dynamicWarrantyUrl() is now dynamicUrl(), and it has been enhanced to be more flexible. It now takes a parameter to replace placeholders with user intending values, thereby increasing its usability.

• Updates in Asset's Display Page

  • We have improved how we handle URLs in the display page. Now, we are checking whether the URL is not empty, instead of it merely not being null.
  • The displayed links for the manufacturer's URL, support URL, and warranty lookup URL are dynamically generated now for more accuracy and consistency. External link icons have been added next to these URLs for a better visual cue.

Please let me know if there's a better way to do this or if there's anything else I can do to get this merged. @snipe

Thanks.

I've made no changes to the font icons or accessibility.
