FedEx tracking URL from a tracking number

FedEx (US) tracking numbers follow this format: 12 digits, or 15 digits, or 00 prefix + 16 digits, or 20-22 digits. ShipShim detects the carrier from the number and returns the direct tracking link.

Example: number in, tracking URL out

Example tracking number986578788855
Tracking URLhttps://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=986578788855

This format is distinctive, so ShipShim identifies FedEx from the bare number — no hints needed.
