[HTTPS-E Rulesets] A patch for Yandex.xml rule

[Mikhail Kalkov]

Hi,

I've noticed that Yandex removed HTTPS support from cards.yandex.ru,
however the HTTP Everywhere plug-in still tries to redirect me to HTTPS web
site. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that cards.yandex.ru has 5 DNS
A records, which means that default firefox timeouts for unreachable web
sites are multiplied by the factor of 5. It is this never-ending "Trying to
connect" which made me initially think there is a problem with the server
but after couple weeks I decided to investigate the issue and discovered
that HTTPS everywhere rule for Yandex.xml was the culprit. I've added one
more exclusion to the rule, and attach a patch to this e-mail.

Affected file:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git/blob/HEAD:/src/chrome/content/rules/Yandex.xml
