gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS (GH-95527)
If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can
be used directly without changes in readability and behavior.
It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack.

This change does not affect Python examples.

Porting Extension Modules to Python 3
*************************************
We recommend the following resources for porting extension modules to Python 3:
* The `Migrating C extensions`_ chapter from
*Supporting Python 3: An in-depth guide*, a book on moving from Python 2
to Python 3 in general, guides the reader through porting an extension
module.
* The `Porting guide`_ from the *py3c* project provides opinionated
suggestions with supporting code.
* The `Cython`_ and `CFFI`_ libraries offer abstractions over
Python's C API.
Extensions generally need to be re-written to use one of them,
but the library then handles differences between various Python
versions and implementations.
