[committed] doc: Convert mingw-w64.org links to https
Commit Message
It turns out my link checker does catch broken links under
gcc.gnu.org/install/ - fixed thusly.
(That makes it all the more puzzling how the issue you fixed last
week did not arise, Jonathan.)

It didn't give a 404, there was a page at the end of the link, just an
empty one. So it probably looks like a good link to your script.

Maybe something is (or was?) still generating old.html, as an empty page:
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/old.html

Yes, as long as there is a page the link is considered valid,
regardless of contents.

Ahh, that got me thinking. Thank you for the hint, Jonathan!
I know what happens and will address it (after a good night's sleep :-).
