Re: constraining scheme (http vs https) on a connection

Filed for the opp-sec draft where this is most relevant:

     https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/188

In particular, mixing of secure and insecure schemes should require
server-side opt-in over a strongly authenticated channel.  (eg, an
attribute of /.well-known/http-opportunistic with properties similar to
"commit" as for where it can be set).

At the least, we should warn about the issues that might be encountered.
