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!)

Beatport Plugin
===============
The ``beatport`` plugin adds support for querying the `Beatport`_ catalogue
during the autotagging process. This can potentially be helpful for users
whose collection includes a lot of diverse electronic music releases, for which
both MusicBrainz and (to a lesser degree) Discogs show no matches.
Installation
------------
To use the ``beatport`` plugin, first enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`). Then, install the `requests`_ and `requests_oauthlib`_
libraries (which we need for querying and authorizing with the Beatport API)
by typing::
pip install requests requests_oauthlib
You will also need to register for a `Beatport`_ account. The first time you
run the :ref:`import-cmd` command after enabling the plugin, it will ask you
to authorize with Beatport by visiting the site in a browser. On the site
you will be asked to enter your username and password to authorize beets
to query the Beatport API. You will then be displayed with a single line of
text that you should paste into your terminal. This will store the
authentication data for subsequent runs and you will not be required to
repeat the above steps.
Matches from Beatport should now show up alongside matches
from MusicBrainz and other sources.
If you have a Beatport ID or a URL for a release or track you want to tag, you
can just enter one of the two at the "enter Id" prompt in the importer.
