Add matrix to the safelisted schemes list
The matrix scheme has recently been finalized and is documented at [1]. Matrix is an open and secure communication protocol, designed for an open federation of servers, much like e-mail or xmpp. The Matrix.org foundation [2] is the custodian of the matrix specification, including the scheme linked above. As a neutral party, it will ensure that future iteration of the matrix scheme will remain in line with its stated goals. The federated (possibly later distributed) nature of the Matrix network calls for an URI scheme, which multiple software programs already implement (namely, Matrix clients Fluffychat, Quaternion, and Nheko among others). Multiple web clients (Element, Hydrogen, Fluffychat again) have expressed their interest in registering as matrix protocol handlers. This commits adds the provisional matrix scheme, as provisionally registered at [3]. The Matrix network currently hosts a few million accounts[4], as well as being the instant communication platform of choice for the KDE and Mozilla communities.
