  Update some URLs
  
  This is a clerical change that mostly changes http: to https: in URLs
  where either will work.  It also updates some URLs that have moved,
  removes some URLs that no longer work, and fixes related text.

  Gnulib module: fchownat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize

  This function is missing on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
  AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14.
  But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and
  is not multithread-safe.  Also, the replacement may fail to change
  symlinks if @code{lchown} is unsupported, or fail altogether if
  @code{chown} is unsupported.
  @item
  This function is declared in @code{<sys/stat.h>}, not in @code{<unistd.h>},
  on some platforms:
  Android 4.3.
  @item
  Some platforms fail to detect trailing slash on non-directories, as in
  @code{fchown(dir,"link-to-file/",uid,gid,flag)}:
  Solaris 9.
  @item
  Some platforms mistakenly dereference symlinks when using
  @code{AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW}:
  Linux kernel 2.6.17.
  @item
  This function does not fail for an empty filename on some platforms:
  Linux with glibc < 2.11.
