patches WWW and MASTER_SITES in 71 ports

This is a megapatch for 71 ports I maintain, or am MASTER_SITES for.
REASON:
Our servers have all been https for well over a year, with a
310 redirect-permanent in place for that same period of time. We pulled
the plug ~6 mos ago on http. At that point the redirect was deemed a
waste of resources.
However, the FreeBSD ports system is binary thinking in many respects, and
makes no allowance for deciding that because there was no answer on http,
it must be in https. So the attached SVN DIFF reconciles that, by updating
all occurrences http to https.

That's it.
It seemed smarter in this instance to provide a megapatch, than to open
71 individual pr(1)'s. :)

Thanks!
