http subversion URLs should be discontinued in favor of https URLs

[Yuri]

I suggested this PR, but it got rejected:

http is insecure in its nature, and is an easy target for MITM. This is 
why https should be preferred. http needs to be discontinued and shut 
down because as long as it exists somebody will keep using it and will 
be in danger.


Few years ago Wikimedia Foundation switched to https and discontinued 
http entirely: 
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https 
I think this makes a lot of sense, and FreeBSD should do the same.


It's understood that a lot of arguments can be made for and against 
this, like with any other issue, but security argument should outweigh 
most or all other arguments.
