Some contributors are behind obnoxious firewalls that block everything
except http(s) traffic, preventing checkout of modules using the git://
protocol. Since git.savannah.gnu.org is using the modern, fast HTTP
transport, there's no real downside to using that by default.

AFAICT, this change has no effect for anyone with an existing checkout
of gnulib. They'll continue using the git protocol, just new checkouts
will start using http. This is fine so no effort is made to "fix"
existing checkouts.

I would assume so as well, since cleaning the repo with -fdx doesn't have an
impact on gnulib, git:// continued to be used. Anyhow, I think this is a move
forward either way.
