=== Registered Domain

The `registered_domain` processor reads a field containing a hostname and then
writes the "registered domain" contained in the hostname to the target field.
For example, given `www.google.co.uk` the processor would output `google.co.uk`.
In other words the "registered domain" is the effective top-level domain
(`co.uk`) plus one level (`google`).

This processor uses the Mozilla Public Suffix list to determine the value.
