[issue2551087] Use SSL on www.roundup-tracker.org

New submission from John Rouillard:

I want to deploy https for the main website: www.roundup-tracker.org
(aka roundup.sourceforge.net). Ideally the http endpoints will
redirect to https.

The main docs are:
  
   https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Convert%20your%20website%20to%20HTTPS/

It says it also upgrades php. AFAIK we don't use php so we don't care.

On the admin page (https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/admin/ext/https/) it references
custom vhost docs with:

   Your virtual hosts (www.roundup-tracker.org, etc) can be upgraded
   to PHP 7.x if you change the DNS records to point to
   216.105.38.11 or for subdomains CNAME vhost2.sourceforge.net.
   They will continue to be served over HTTP. Custom VHost
   documentation.

I have checked the VHost docs (https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/admin/ext/vhost/)
and there is a notice:

  Your VHOST domains will not work with HTTPS.

Hmph. I don't see a way to create a redirect page from the vhost domain to the https
domain since the http and https endpoints are the same directory on disk.

So this may mean we need to use:

  https://roundup.sourceforge.io

as our main url if we want https.

Also I have removed the wiki.roundup-tracker.org name from the alias table. The only
two aliases left are roundup-tracker.org and www.roundup-tracker.org.

Quips, comments, evasions, questions or answers?
