support pretty URL pages
Many static site generators support the use of pretty URLs.
Currently .html
is assumed to come at the end of URL, but it would be great if we could specify /
instead.

For example, the reference pages of the polars
package created by Mkdocs Material are pretty URLs, so downlit cannot create links to the reference pages.

Perhaps pkgdown.yml
needs to be extended to indicate if pretty URLs are used.
