remove ftp: in docs

[dankelley]

As per instructions below, from Brian Ripley, we need to stop using ftp: in the docs and vignettes. Luckily, this doesn't seem to be a "change or your package will be withdrawn from CRAN" situation.

Please review your usage and change to https:// or http:// if possible (possibly using another site). It is not anticipated that R will remove facilities for downloading from ftp:// sites in the near future but they will become increasingly untested and secure sites (https:// since ftps:// is almost unused) are much preferred. -- Brian D.

I think I've done this in "develop" commit 40e7799769c9a8d21531d5824a1b65ab6acda360. At any rate

➜  oce git:(develop) grep -n "^#'.*ftp:"

now produces no output, which indicates that we no longer have any Roxygen lines containing the string ftp:.

If I learn more about how they detect the use of ftp URLs, I'll reopen this and add more fixes.
