Website references

It's hard to fully parse a website automatically, so some manual interactions are required.

How to add a website reference:

Add the links directly to the input file.
Invoke the prepare-urls command like this:

python -m references_parser prepare-urls in.txt

Then, the URL in the file will be replaced with a BibTeX-annotated URL:

@online{Google,
    title={Google},
    date={18.05.2023},
    year={2023},
    origin={TODO: Author or place or corp here},
    base={TODO: Base resource title here},
    url={<https://google.com>}
}

Here, you can fill in the fields origin (mandatory) and base with the required information.
Then, you can use parsers as usual, but pay attention that the result contains [Б.м.], which you may want to delete.
