Hi,

I just got hit by GitHub's current brownout of unencrypted git protocol usage when trying to install Mininet from source.

As usage of the unencrypted git protocol will be retired permanently on March 15th, I am submitting this patch changing the URLs to https instead.

For details, please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/

Cheers :)
Andreas

Because Github removes support for unencrypted git protocol in March 2022, URLs in scripts are changed to use https.

As much as I prefer git I think it's OK to switch to https to help people on networks whose admins are hostile to the former. (Apparently ssh is better for some users behind the great firewall, but obviously requires authentication so it's not practical as a default.)

Is there something I still need to do before this can be merged? March 15th is approaching quickly :)

For some reason I couldn't easily get the CI to run, which means that the PR's checks didn't pass. However this looks fine.
