  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: limits-h or gethostname
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{limits-h}:
  @itemize
  @item
  The macros @code{LLONG_MIN}, @code{LLONG_MAX}, @code{ULLONG_MAX} are not
  defined on some platforms:
  older glibc systems (e.g. Fedora 1), AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OpenVMS.
  @item
  The macros @code{WORD_BIT}, @code{LONG_BIT} are not defined on some platforms:
  glibc 2.11 without @code{-D_GNU_SOURCE}, Cygwin, mingw, MSVC 14.
  @item
  Macros like @code{CHAR_WIDTH} are not defined on some platforms:
  glibc 2.24, many others.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{gethostname}:
  @itemize
  @item
  The @code{HOST_NAME_MAX} macro is not defined on some platforms:
  Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11,
  IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The macro @code{SSIZE_MAX} has the wrong type,
  albeit with the correct value:
  32-bit glibc 2.24 (on some architectures), Cygwin 2.5.2.
  @item
  The macro @code{SSIZE_MAX} is not defined on some platforms:
  MSVC 14.
  @end itemize
  
  For @code{PATH_MAX}, Gnulib provides a module @code{pathmax} with a header
  file @code{"pathmax.h"}.  It defines @code{PATH_MAX} to a constant on
  platforms with a file name length limit.
