Incorrect regex for TLDs causes locally defined TLDs to be rejected

Bug Description

The requirements on the name of a TLD are that it begin with an alnum, end with an alnum, and have nothing but alnums and hyphens in it. The fact that no TLDs currently have hyphens does not make it correct behavior to reject them. In fact, that's all the more reason for a local admin to have chosen to use a hyphen in a locally-defined TLD.
