Cannot use file:/// in maximal.gdz #83

Per the spec

A URL with scheme file refers to a machine-local file as defined by RFC 8089. Machine-local files must not be used in FamilySearch GEDZIP nor when sharing datasets on the web or with unknown parties, but may be used for close collaboration between parties with known similar file structures.

maximial.gdz violates this rule, as it has a file:///... URI in it.

We could argue that maximal.ged violates it too as it is shared on the web, but I think it's OK because it is not the data that is the purpose of the file, it is the formatting of the data..
