Background: When use Android app, for links shared from some apps, links are not pure url but with additional text such as article title.
Example: "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education - https://new.ycombinator.com/item?id=34934216"
Solution: To improve user experience, instead of just returning parse error, it could be better to try to parse the urlStr first and check whether any valid url. So I add a check with regex before that, the code change is rather simple and understandable.
We should attempt to extract the url on device before sending the save request to the server.

Sometimes the title and url for a page can be bunched in the same string we get in the share activity. As described in this PR: https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore/pull/1855
