[Biopython] [PATCH] Use https:// instead of git:// in examples

A number of places - companies - have firewalled outgoing access to
the git:// protocol, while https:// is open, so to make it easier to
get started, it makes sense to use the https:// variant.

  Hi,

Here is a suggested patch for biopython.github.io - I wasn't sure where
to submit it (I don't want to create a Microsoft Github account).

It should be possible to apply the patch by saving the email and running
"git am saved_email.txt".

  Best regards,

    Adam
