/**
 * Provider selection by URL host.
 *
 * Iterates the configured providers in order; the first one whose `match.host`
 * glob matches the URL hostname (and no `match.excludeHost` glob excludes it)
 * claims the URL. Returns `undefined` if no provider claims it — the caller
 * then falls back to anonymous link-checking.
 *
 * Hostname matching is case-insensitive per RFC 3986. Pattern syntax follows
 * `picomatch` (already a utils dep): `*` matches any character, `**` matches
 * across `/`. For hostnames (no slashes) the practical effect is that `*`
 * happily matches dots — e.g. `*.sharepoint.com` claims both
 * `contoso.sharepoint.com` and `foo.bar.sharepoint.com`.
 *
 * Per design issue #113 §4 (vocabulary item 1: match.host + excludeHost).
