Add "DOI" and URL to entry preview

[koppor]

Current customized preview:

DOI gets more and more important.

In the preferences, one can customize the entry preview:

Quick hack to adapt the DOI:

\begin{doi}<BR>doi <a href="https://doi.org/\format[DOIStrip]{\doi}">\format[DOIStrip]{\doi}</a>\end{doi}
\begin{url}<BR>doi <a href="\url">\url</a>\end{url}

Then, the preview renders as follows:

---

1. Adapt org.jabref.migrations.PreferencesMigrations#upgradePreviewStyle to include the above patch. Only do it, if \end[doi} (newline) is followed by \begin{abstract}. You will need to add testcases here.
2. Adapt the default preview style in org.jabref.gui.preferences.JabRefGuiPreferences#JabRefGuiPreferences
