Comment:

 There is no one size fits all solution here.

 If the current theme supports `html5` for `comment-form` the `type=url`
 attribute is added to the comment_author_url input. You can use the
 `comment_form_default_fields` filter to add a `pattern` attribute with a
 regex that further restricts what urls should be allowed.  Example:
 `pattern="https?://.+"`
