Similar to #754, but for urlgetter. The main task here is not necessarily implementing and merging, rather discussing a prototype implementation and decide whether it would make sense to merge or whether it could tie our hands for the future. More specifically, consider the following:
if we define richer input like we plan on doing for dnscheck (see also the plan at Write a design document for how to support richer testing input ooni.org#1295), we can support a wide array of urlgetter based experiments;
however, doing that could be binding because we never defined what urlgetter options are supported in the long run;
I would like to discuss with @ooni/ooni-team which options we want to support and whether there is a way for us to be even more flexible with respect to richer input as far as the urlgetter experiment is concerned.
