fix(portal-clis): reject foreign detail URLs in Jobbank and Jobnet (#672)

* fix(portal-clis): validate Jobbank and Jobnet detail URL hosts

* fix(portal-clis): preserve scheme-less portal detail URLs

Normalize host-like input with HTTPS before validating the portal host. Cover apex, www, mobile, uppercase and legacy routes while rejecting foreign or deceptive hosts and query-only posting paths.

Thanks to MadsLorentzen for finding the compatibility regression in #672.

* changelog: place the #672 entry under [Unreleased]
