Auto-forward (silent mode) needs to remember the domain and enforce SSL first

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With version 0.3, the auto-forward/silent mode retests every page (if it's an 
http page not https or any other protocol).  This is completely site reliant.  
For instance, if the HTTPS site contains links pointing to https, it's good.  
But if the HTTPS site has links pointing back to http, it redirects to http, 
then finds https, and redirects to the https version of the same page.  

I have the code working for intercepting all load url requests (which can halt 
them also - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=501254).  

Once an SSL page is detected, we should remember that domain and rewrite 
requests as https for that session.  If https fails we can fall back on http 
(With an alert notification, or even a yes/no confirmation that the user is ok 
with this BEFORE letting the connection go insecure).

Changing this to low for now to stay focused on better detection and 
integration with HTTPS Everywhere, as users really should be using it for rule 
enforcement.  Since this is functionality provided by HTTPS Everywhere, it 
isn't as necessary at the moment as other features HTTPS Finder can provide.
