YouTube, Google Search, Google+, and Google Maps apps link to HTTP

Reported by 93m4qau...@gmail.com, Feb 6 2018

Issue description

Chrome version: 66.0.3340.0 canary

The preinstalled YouTube, Google Search, Google+, and Google Maps apps on chrome://apps link to HTTP (which then redirects to HTTPS), but should start out as HTTPS.

I don't see pre-installed Google Search, Google+, and Google Maps apps. Could those be a remnant in your profile from when they were (were they ever pre-installed? I don't remember) or from installing them?

The pre-installed YouTube app does appear to have the wrong link though. HSTS should smooth this over, but agreed that should be fixed.

+asargent (OWNERS file) and Platform>Apps>Default folks. (Is asargent still working on this stuff? Should we update the OWNERS file?
I don't see the Google Search, Google+, and Google Maps apps upon creating a clean profile. However, I still see the YouTube app, which initially goes to HTTP when you click on its icon.

The YouTube manifest.json file does indeed use non-secure "http://www.youtube.com" links. Fortunately, youtube.com is on the HSTS preload list.
