Request supporting validator.w3.org/nu service #12258

Description

Are you experiencing an issue with...

shields.io

🐞 Description

The old engine is no longer suitable to new website standard. For instance:

I would like to support https://validator.w3.org/nu alongside with https://validator.nu

🔗 Link to the badge

https://shields.io/badges/w-3-c-validation

Sample:

![W3C Validation](https://img.shields.io/w3c-validation/html?targetUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fngdangtu.com)

💡 Possible Solution

Old service should not be removed because new service is easily blocked by cloudflare (not sure why - but you can try it with my domain). Therefore, I suggest to support both service at the same time with 2 new options:

  1. serivce with 2 values: old, new; default is old so we don't mess old badges
  2. fallback with boolean where true will use the other service if the high priority lost connection; default is false with the same reason above

    TODO need more research about compatibility between old and new version and its benefits...

    1. New version is blocked by certain sites with strict robot rules.
    2. Old version breaks some new HTML standard.
