feat(Boost for Reddit): Open new kind of Reddit URL in the shape of https://reddit.com/r/.../s/...

Issue

There has been a new kind of Reddit URL, generated with the "Share" feature of the latest Reddit Mobile. It is in the shape of https://reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/s/<Base 62 code>, and might point to a subreddit, post, or comment. Boost cannot correctly open it. Instead Boost will only open the subreddit.

Example: URL

https://reddit.com/r/badUIbattles/s/0iHSWsyEWu

should lead to post

https://www.reddit.com/r/badUIbattles/comments/15nbq9x/usernames_in_comments_are_sometimes_cut_off/

But instead opens https://www.reddit.com/r/badUIbattles/ in Boost.

Patch

The patch should hopefully be able to correctly open the subreddit, post, or comment that this new kind of Reddit URL points to.

Motivation

If Reddit Mobile causes this new type of URLs to gradually replace the old type, Boost users will find it hard to keep using only Boost for Reddit. This patch will keep Boost's usability as high as before.
