maint: modernize URLs
A lot of this is converting http: to https:. Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

-On Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1), test failure
----------------------------------------------
-
-Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1) provides only partial (and incompatible)
-ACL support, so although "./configure && make" succeeds, "make check"
-exposes numerous failures. The solution is to turn off ACL support
-manually via "./configure --disable-acl". For details, see
-<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12292/focus=12318>.

-*****************************************
-Test failure with NLS and gettext <= 0.17
------------------------------------------
-
-Due to a conflict between libintl.h and gnulib's new xprintf module,
-when you configure with NLS support, and with a gettext installation
-older than 0.17.1 (not yet released, at the time of this writing),
-then some tests fail, at least on NetBSD 1.6. To work around it in
-the mean time, you can configure with --disable-nls. For details,
-see <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/12015/>.
