URLs ending in 1,2,3 or 5 within text blocks are truncated, making the link invalid

[duncanw]

Describe the bug If a multi-line text field (e.g the abstract) in a metadata record contains a URL that ends in 1,2,3 or 5 (e.g https://doi.org/10.21420/TTQ0-SR11), the digit(s) on the end of the URL are omitted when the record is viewed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Contribute > Add new record
2. Select the template and group then click Create
3. In a multi-line text field, add some text containing such a URL, e.g "This is a link: https://doi.org/10.21420/TTQ0-SR11 [new line]...and it is borked"
4. Fill in all the mandatory fields
5. Save and view the new record
6. The link in the multi-line text field is broken, in this example the href value will be https://doi.org/10.21420/TTQ0-SR

Expected behavior The full, correct link should be rendered and clickable in the record view.

My guess is this is caused by incorrect XML character encoding in this regex in core-geonetwork > web/src/main/webapp/xslt/common/utility-tpl.xsl: <xsl:analyze-string select="$string" regex="(http|https|ftp)://[^\s()&gt;&lt;]+[^\s``!()\[\]&amp;#123;&amp;#125;;:'&apos;&quot;.,&gt;&lt;?«»“”‘’]">
