Simply offer HTTPS version in Not secure menu

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, Nov 27

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Allow us to examine the case where the user sees the "not secure"
warning, and wishes to "do the right thing" and visit the secure version
of a page.

OK,
1. visit http://example.com/
2. Notice "Not secure". Click it.
3. Observer all the choices offered. Not once is any "simply try the
secure version" listed.
4. OK, the user sets off on his own, to try the https version of a given
http page.

This turns out much harder than simply adding an "s" to the URL. He has
to type in the entire h t t p s : / /

Therefore wouldn't you agree, in this list of choices in the screenshot,
please offer "Attempt https version of this page". etc. Thanks.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Big hassle to simply try the HTTPS version of a given URL when warned.

Did this work before? N/A

This is a cool idea, but probably not worth implementing for a couple reasons:

1) Page Info doesn't seem to get a ton of usage
2) We're working on some other features that may make this feature less useful (e.g. easier method to un-elide scheme)

Going to mark this Won't Fix for now.
