Description
Pycodestyle already makes an exception for url's in docstrings and comments. I think a good option would be to allow arbitrary regexps to have more flexibility. One use case would be to ignore long urls in string literals by providing regex expressions such as https?://.

Research direction
Start by locating the E501 implementation and the existing exception for URLs in docstrings and comments. Review how pycodestyle options are defined, then determine the expected configuration and matching behavior for user-supplied regular expressions; done means the option works for the stated string-literal URL case and has coverage for the existing exception behavior.
