/**
 * Removes all unnecessary parts of the domain (e.g. protocol, auth, port, path, query) and parses the remaining domain.
 *
 * For example:
 *
 * parseDomain("http://www.google.com:1234/some/path?q=something")
 *
 * yields to
 *
 * {
 *     subdomain: "www",
 *     domain: "google"
 *     tld: "com"
 * }
 *
 * Since the top-level domain is handled differently by every country, this function only
 * supports all tlds listed in lib/build/tld.txt
 *
 * If the given url is not valid or isn't supported by the tld.txt, this function returns null.
 *
 * @param {string} url
 * @returns {Object|null}
