Remove shrtm.nu from phishing.txt #1252

Summary

This removes shrtm.nu from phishing.txt. It's the domain for a URL shortener that I own/maintain.
I assume the domain was wrongfully added here due to some criminal abusing the service for a phishing attack.
As the service is used by the vast majority of people for legitimate purposes and illegal activity is monitored and taken action on, I don't think the domain should be listed here.

Checklist

  • I have verified that I have not modified the following files:
    - inside the adguard folder
    - inside the alt-version folder
    - inside the dnsmasq-version folder
    - everything.txt

@spirillen Thanks for the helpful pointer – I'll take a look at these.

I only recently became aware of the listings through a customer report who was using NextDNS, which in return uses some of these lists internally. Now I'm trying to make my way through and see what's the damage.

Would I need to remove the domain from the other lists so that we can remove it from this repo?

Do to a bug in Phishing.Database we are not able to do full search in the active files. For that reason we are now importing the `ALL-phishing-links.txt` and strips it down to domain only list in `data/phishing_database/`

Trying to use @main for the php installer and using php version 8.4

Added `libdomain-publicsuffix-perl` to the dependencies.sh script as it is required by perl in import.sh. It turns out Perl just anoyingly does it again... 😏
