Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM

For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:

return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
