Modifies line 22 in 'google-spell-check.py' to include a 'gws_rd' variable with the value 'ssl'. This appears to make the package play nicely, since Google appears to use SSL implicitly in some cases and this variable redirects your request to SSL even though the URL that the package uses is standard HTTP protocol.

I think the PR belongs to the ST3 branch since the author does not seem to be using master branch only for README but no actual code.
