Description
Background
As of June 2014 it became possible to register ".uk" domains. Previously all domains ending in UK had at least one more public part.
What to change
We need to change lib/publicSuffixList.js to account for the possibility of someone registering a ".uk" domain. To do this we need to modify the value for ".uk" to 1 and add all the other possible public extensions like ".co.uk" and "org.uk" etc. (See https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat and search for "nominet" for a full list.)

As discussed on IRC and in the codereview, in the long-term we should automatically update lib/publicSuffixList.js based on Mozilla's Public Suffix List, with a build command. This can be addressed later, however please file an issue now, that we don't forget about it.
