Description

CLI argument --peers takes socket addresses, which are IPv4 or IPv6 addresses (with optional ports). Add URLs.

$ neptune-core --peers www.github.com:9798
error: invalid value 'www.github.com:9798' for '--peers <PEERS>': invalid socket address syntax

For more information, try '--help'.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current CLI argument parser for ` peers` to understand how socket addresses are validated. Research how to extend it to accept URLs using a URL parsing library like `url`. Modify the parser to handle both socket addresses and URLs.
