  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: float
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The conversion from @code{int} to @code{long double} in incorrect on some
  platforms:
  glibc 2.7 on Linux/SPARC64.
  @item
  The values of @code{LDBL_*} macros are incorrect on some platforms:
  On OpenBSD 4.0 and MirBSD 10, they are the same as the values of the
  @code{DBL_*} macros, although @samp{long double} is a larger type than
  @samp{double}.
  On FreeBSD/x86 6.4, they represent the incorrect 53-bit precision assumptions
  in the compiler, not the real 64-bit precision at runtime.
  On Linux/PowerPC with GCC 4.4, on AIX 7.1 with GCC 4.2, and on IRIX 6.5,
  they don't reflect the ``double double'' representation of @code{long double}
  correctly.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The macro @code{FLT_ROUNDS} is a constant expression and does not represent
  the current rounding mode on some platforms:
  glibc 2.11, HP-UX 11, mingw.
