Do not download dependencies from insecure sources #17945

@DemiMarie

Description

@DemiMarie

Currently, Julia downloads dependencies from insecure connections in many cases (http:// or git://). This allows for a man-in-the-middle attack, resulting in total compromise of the developer's system.

The only solution is to ensure that all downloads are fetched via secure https:// connections (with strict TLS certificate checking) and (ideally) have SHA512 hashes as well.
