Use HTTPS protocol in external links.

These websites are capable of secure communication, and future technologies which require secure connections in major implementations (SPDY/HTTP2, Firefox, Chrome).

This does work for sharing a link to a gallery entry (from the Share icon in the top bar).

This doesn't seem to work for uploading images. The dialog box still says "http" and the link copied from it is also "http".

This also doesn't work for copying the direct image link for images shown in the gallery.

When uploading an image, the URL returned is from the API. You would need to do a replace of http with https, but I rather avoid doing that as it is altering the link.

Would there be a detriment to using a substitution on the scheme of the link? I can't really see one; it seems safe to s/^http:/https:/ since imgur only returns links to its own service (and since it would affect only http, nothing else).
