You cannot search for series by URL anymore

As a last-ditch way to find a series on Comic Vine, you used to be able to navigate to the series page for that series on the Comic Vine website, and then copy and paste that page URL into the Comic Vine Scraper series search dialog, and it would ALWAYS find that series, e.g. you could always find Conan the Slayer by searching for this URL:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/conan-the-slayer/4050-92175/
Now, it only works if you paste the numbers at the end of the URL:
4050-92175

This was caused by the fact that Comic Vine changed their domain from comicvine.com to gamespot.com. I've fixed the problem by using a better regular expression that should be much more resilient to future changes to the Comic Vine URLs.
