whoisit does not find the RDAP endpoint for UK domains about whoisit

[meeb]

Nominet's RDAP enpoint isn't currently listed by the IANA which is why .uk domains currently aren't supported by default. I've added the RDAP endpoint as an optional override in the 2.6.1 release I've just pushed.

You can enable overrides by bootstrapping with the overrides=True kwarg, e.g.:

whoisit.bootstrap(overrides=True)

The overrides are a set of manually specified RDAP endpoints which the IANA don't list at the moment. It's possible they also return non-standardised formatting for results as well so watch out for any weirdly parsed results if you enable them.

Update to 2.6.1 from PyPi and give it a go.

@meeb I wanted to thank you again for your time and effort maintaining this library -- very much appreciated!

Not a bad idea @case, all good though I've just pushed a minor verbosity increase to the error message. I already had the edior open from the previous release. See: cda9a6f

Also totally unrelated but you might find one of my other network info related projects interesting - https://ipnetdb.com/

It occurred to me that we could update the error message here, to make it a bit more user-friendly? e.g. mentioning the overrides=True instructions in the Readme. I'd be happy to make a PR for this, if you like the idea?
