[HTTPS-Everywhere] Firefox 14 and Google

[Peter Eckersley]

(Context: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq#google ) 

Redirecting searches from https://www.google.com/ to
https://encrypted.google.com (either in the main ruleset or in an
off-by-default "force encrypted.google.com" ruleset) is possible, it would
just need to be done carefully because presumably there are a lot of non-web
search things on www.google.com that can't be obtained from
encrypted.google.com.

I'd be more inclined to accept a pull request for this in an off-by-default
ruleset, than in the main one.
