Support "*.taobao.com" and "*.tmall.com"

[lqf96]

It seems that taobao and tmall has added full https support on nearly all their subdomains. however i have some problems writing a ruleset (build always failed). So please add rules for these sites, thank you.

@lqf96 You mean #2030? Before you create pull request, you can test it yourself. Assuming you're on Linux environment, in https-everywhere folder, bash fetch-test.sh src/chrome/content/rules/Taobao.xml

My suggestions: Taobao.xml

1. you don't have to create rule from to for every target host. A single <rule from="^http:" to="https:" /> is sufficient.
2. Remove assets.taobaocdn.com and s.tbcdn.cn. They are no longer valid and have been replaced with *.alicdn.com. One way to test the URL is curl -I -L https://s.tbcdn.cn.
3. Replace <securecookie host="^\.login\.m\.taobao\.com$" name=".+" /> with <securecookie host="^.*\.taobao\.com$" name=".+" /> to apply to *.taobao.com instead of just login.m.taobao.com.
4. you mentioned "Taobao now has full SSL support on their sub-domains, through a few of them is still suffering from mixed content problems.", which subdomain? does mixed content problem breaks the page? you might need to add exclusion rule.
5. Since tmall is separate product/website from taobao, I suggest to create new ruleset instead.

Pull request I notice you create a pull request from your master branch which includes three files change. I suggest to create separate pull request for each file/ruleset. The reason is because how-old.net.xml and ppy.sh.xml might not have any issue, however issue of Taobao.xml prevents those two ruleset from getting merged if you put them in one pull request. How to create separate pull request? Instead of:

master branch:
    how-old.net.xml
    ppy.sh.xml
    Taobao.xml

Pull request your repo:master vs. EFForg:master why not,

how-old branch:
    how-old.net.xml

Pull request your repo:how-old vs. EFForg:master and so on.
