UrlNormalizer

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultUrlNormalizer
```
public interface UrlNormalizer
```
Simplifies URLs by removing parent directory references ("/../") and collapsing path segments. This performs purely string-based normalization without full URL parsing or validation.
The normalization process iteratively removes "/../" segments by eliminating the preceding path segment, effectively resolving relative path traversals.
This does not guarantee that the resulting URL is valid or reachable; it simply produces a more canonical representation of the input string.
