Missing UNIQUE key for base_url and reduction to normalized URL

[MrPetovan]

I kept getting annoyed having to work on the directory because its structure was similar to 2016 Friendica, and I didn't want to copy all the improvements since I couldn't use them directly. I even tried to set Friendica as a Composer dependency for the directory but it went nowhere.

So I started a new Directory project from scratch as a challenge to finally embrace Dependency Injection (hi @nupplaphil). It uses the same API as the current directory, which means that you can pull from and push to the new version, although the reverse is not possible yet, and never will in the case of push because of a fatal design flaw in the current directory.

You already are awake, so you get to see it first: https://dir.friendica.mrpetovan.com

Wow! I'm impressed.

Thank you for the preview! Looking forward to its first release.

This has been taken care of in the next version of the directory. Each server record uses the canonical URL of the server as given in the /friendica/json output, and we also record the various URLs that give the same output to remove de facto duplicates in the server polling queue.

@MrPetovan I applaud your tireless effort. This is great news!
