Fix stock status false positives for in-stock items

- Remove overly generic pre-order phrases that caused false positives
  ("available in", "coming in", "arriving in" matched normal text)
- Add in-stock phrase priority check - "in stock", "add to cart",
  "add to basket" now take precedence over pre-order detection
- Add Magento 2 stock status detection using stock classes and
  add-to-cart buttons
- Bump version to 1.0.2
