Re: Matrix parameters for DID URLs

To help with the ABNF discussion, I built a simple frontend for a parser
for the proposed "matrix parameters" syntax, see here:
https://parser.uniresolver.io/

Note that not all examples can be successfully parsed - this is intentional.

(This uses the aParse parser generator <http://www.parse2.com/>, the
generated parser code is here
<https://github.com/peacekeeper/did-common-java/tree/matrix-parameters>).
