User:DavidB4-bot/HTTPS URL update project

(originally moved from User talk:DavidB4)

The Web is changing a great deal. One of these changes is the shift from the HyperText Transfer Protocol to HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. While HTTPS is not perfect (and it will continue to be less that ideal at least until/unless we get DNSSEC) this is a good move. The problem for us is that we now have a great deal of links which are out of date. 1990'sguy pointed out this issue and suggested that I use my bot to update our links. I don't have the ability to automatically test URLs for TLS support, so I'm making a list of URLs to be updated. Please add any links you want updated to the table below, but do not edit the "verified" column. Thank you!

The following sites support HTTPS, but do not actively enforce it. They will be updated as well, but undefined entries will also be forced to HTTPS to improve our visitors' security.
