Description
## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This tool detects project URLs and emits them in the SBOM results as "external references".
The URL types are detected based on patterns - see https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-python/blob/721f12d1a5799e9766fd4da79f54fd11c5776824/cyclonedx_py/_internal/utils/cdx.py#L85-L104
it appears that PyPI also documented the way they detect URL types:
It would be great if the PyPI heuristics could be applied, too.
## Describe the solution you'd like
Have the heuristics from PyPI apply to URL type detections, so that emitted external references follow the de facto standards, too.
These heuristics work on the URL name, as well on the URL itself.
## Additional context
