[HTTPS-Everywhere] Progress on erroneous "false mixed" content blocking

[Peter Eckersley]

For a long time, we've had a huge problem with browsers blocking HTTP
script and CSS content in HTTPS pages, even though we were about to
rewrite those resources to HTTPS URLs.

Mozilla has finally landed a patch for this, which is in Mozilla 36
(current nightly):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418354
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=878890

What this means is that on Firefox 36+, the rulesets that MB has been
calling "false mixed" should actually work.  Let's check that, and if
it's right, we can create a new "platform" for rulesets -- we could call
it "transient-mixed" or somegthing -- and enable those rulesets on FF
36+.

No progress on the Chrome version of this bug yet though :(
