* doc/FAQ: correct URLs, use https

--

The old FAQ URLs (http://www.gnupg.org/faq/GnuPG-FAQ.html) return
versions from the end of 2012.  We probably also want to replace those
with an HTTP redirect to the correct page.

I also note that the plaintext version of the FAQ is sent by the web
server with the following header:

  Content-Type: text/plain

Note the lack of a charset parameter.  The file itself appears to
contain UTF-8-encoded text.  Many user-agents still interpret the lack
of a charset parameter to mean an encoding of iso-8859-1.

I recommend that the server send the following instead:

  Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
