Upgrade StorageDOI saved as full URL in the DOI field
Until recently DOIs have been saved as the DOI only in the DOI field, like this:
10.1002/ar.1091450104
Lately this behaviour has changed on some pages to include a full URL including https://doi.org/, see e.g. what happens when 'Save to Zotero' this page:
https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.1091450104
If the URL is to be saved, it should go in the URL field. The point of DOI is to outlast things like HTTPS, so that when protocols change in the future we don't have to update all the DOI fields.
The DOI handbook says that:
"The DOI name has two components, the prefix and the suffix, which together form the DOI name, separated by the "/" character. The portion following the "/" separator character, the suffix, may be an existing identifier, or any unique string chosen by the registrant. The portion preceding the "/" character (the prefix) denotes a unique naming authority. There is no limitation on the length of a DOI name."

The behaviour is inconsistent - PubMed entries' DOIs are still saved as just the DOI, it seems to be limited to publishers' sites where DOIs are displayed in https://doi.org/ URLs. Maybe a translator issue?

I am aware of other publishers' metadata that does present the DOI as a full URL. I'll provide examples later today.
Please do let me know about those other cases.
