Proposed patch makes links in the docs to use the HTTPS protocol if possible. All changed links are tested manually.

If these changes are acceptable, we should change the :rfc:, :pep:, etc roles to produce links with https.

I was not sure that these changes are worth, it was just interesting to me to research how many links support the HTTPS protocol now.

The :rfc: and :pep: roles are defined in Sphinx. I don't know if they can be configured to use HTTPS.

Newer Sphinx versions already redefine docutils' RFC and PEP URLs to use https.
