Content Filtering: Limited file protocol to just anchor hrefs

Updated allow list/purifier system to only allow file protocol use on
anchor hrefs to avoid potential security concerns with, after export,
content being auto loaded via interactive elements like
embeds/objects/videos etc...

Updated tests to cover.
Thanks to Gurmandeep Deol at Seneca Polytechnic for reporting.
