HTTPS for all plans (even free ones!)

I redid the infrastructure behind the redirect2me service and added automatic HTTPS support.

Redirect2me will automatically provision a new SSL/TLS certificate for your domain the first time it is accessed via HTTPS (so that first hit might be slow). This is available for all plans, including free accounts.

While I originally intended to reserve HTTPS support for paid plans only, I realized that HTTPS is becoming a basic expectation for any web service, and I want to make sure that all redirect2me users can be secure without any additional setup or cost.

Credit to Let’s Encrypt for providing free SSL/TLS certificates, and to certmagic for the automatic provisioning.
