Update a lot of URLs to use HTTPS
*All* URLs were checked manually, but only once per domain!

I mostly concerned myself with URLs in documentation rather than source
code because the latter may or may not have impactful changes, while the
former should be straight forward.

Changes in addition to simply adding an s:

- changed pip and pypi references as their location has changed
- MPoD (iOS app) url redirects to Regelian, so I replaced those
- updated homebrew references

Notable observations:

- beets.io does have HTTPS set up properly (via gh-pages)
- beatport.py uses the old HTTP url for beatport
- as does lyrics.py for lyrics.wikia.com
- https://tomahawk-player.org/ expired long ago, but the http page
  redirects to https regardless
- none of the sourceforge subdomains have https (in 2019!)

Discogs Plugin
==============
The ``discogs`` plugin extends the autotagger's search capabilities to
include matches from the `Discogs`_ database.
.. _Discogs: https://discogs.com
Installation
------------
To use the ``discogs`` plugin, first enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`). Then, install the `discogs-client`_ library by typing::
pip install discogs-client
You will also need to register for a `Discogs`_ account, and provide
authentication credentials via a personal access token or an OAuth2
authorization.
Matches from Discogs will now show up during import alongside matches from
MusicBrainz.
If you have a Discogs ID for an album you want to tag, you can also enter it
at the "enter Id" prompt in the importer.
OAuth Authorization
```````````````````
The first time you run the :ref:`import-cmd` command after enabling the plugin,
it will ask you to authorize with Discogs by visiting the site in a browser.
Subsequent runs will not require re-authorization.
Authentication via Personal Access Token
````````````````````````````````````````
As an alternative to OAuth, you can get a token from Discogs and add it to
your configuration.
To get a personal access token (called a "user token" in the `discogs-client`_
documentation), login to `Discogs`_, and visit the
`Developer settings page
<https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers>`_. Press the ``Generate new
token`` button, and place the generated token in your configuration, as the
``user_token`` config option in the ``discogs`` section.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Several issues have been encountered with the Discogs API. If you have one,
please start by searching for `a similar issue on the repo
<https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+discogs>`_.
Here are two things you can try:
* Try deleting the token file (``~/.config/beets/discogs_token.json`` by
default) to force re-authorization.
* Make sure that your system clock is accurate. The Discogs servers can reject
your request if your clock is too out of sync.
