Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

 Changes in v2:
 Undone all handhelds.org changes and 0 of 0 wearablegroup.org changes.
I wasn't asking that the changes be undone, I was asking that those links
simply be removed.  They are actively harmful - much more so than any http:
links - and shouldn't be there.  *Sigh*.  I guess I'll just do that.
