Bird debian repo now over https only?

[Jonathan Stewart]

I had to install apt-transport-https on debian 9 to reach the repositories.

Personally, i was more surprised debian didn't support HTTPS by default
rather than surprised that BIRD is deprecating HTTP.  The deprecation of
HTTP is happening everywhere.
