[FeatureRequest]Enable https by default in /etc/apk/repositories

[sebma]

Hi,

Having problems reaching the default dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org repo on http, can you please replace the http protocol by https in your default /etc/apk/repositories file :

$ docker build -t sebm/alpine -f myDockerFiles/sebM_alpine dockerImages/

alpine 3.13 (hopefully released this week) will have https by default. (alpinelinux/aports@58f4b81)

I'm not sure its a good idea to change that for 3.12 at this point.
