It is concerning to me that Google is randomly sending traffic to the
HTTPS gateway rather than us being in control of that migration
process. Maybe it is time to send a rel=canonical link on all pages,
like we do for uz.wikipedia.org but in the reverse direction?

There are two bugs in Bugzilla that track this feature:
* Canonical URL on all content pages (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25882)
* Implement a way to set a canonical url in OutputPage (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28602)
