Algorithm Documentation #2240

Description

@simon-friedberger

The documentation of the algorithm in the wiki needs some love.

The following is wrong when people use the PSL to determine if something is a valid URL/domain:

If no rules match, the prevailing rule is "*".

The general description of matching is also wrong in many cases. All browsers seem to implement the rule that a wildcard
*.foo.com implies that foo.com is a public suffix as well. There is no immediate need to make a case but we should fix the documentation.
