[HTTPS-Everywhere] platform="mixedcontent" in rulesets

[Jacob Hoffman-Andrews]

Quoting from the recently-updated rulesets page:

"Some rulesets may trigger active mixed content (i.e. scripts loaded
over HTTP instead of HTTPS). This type of mixed content is blocked in
both Chrome <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6975> and
Firefox, before HTTPS Everywhere has a chance to rewrite the URLs to an
HTTPS version. This generally breaks the site. However, the Tor Browser
doesn't block mixed content, in order to allow HTTPS Everywhere to try
and rewrite the URLs to an HTTPS version.

To enable a rule only on platforms that allow mixed content (currently
only the Tor Browser), you can add a platform="mixedcontent" attribute
to the ruleset element."
