[PATCH]: Update URL to HTTPS in debian/copyright



Dear Maintainer(s), sorry for wasting your time.

I was trying to find something wrong in sid-xterm/xterm-393/debian/*
and came across a message from the `duck` utility:

I: debian/copyright:5: URL: http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html: INFORMATION (Certainty:possible)
   URL schema changed from HTTP to HTTPS during redirect(s): http://invisible-island.net -> https://invisible-island.net
   Please investigate and update the URL eventually, to avoid unnecessary redirects!

I have attached a patch `avoid-unnecessary-redirect.patch` that fixes this
(improving security and avoiding unnecessary redirects), you can use it, thanks.

I also saw that a new version of xterm is available: https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/xterm/xterm-394.tgz
downloaded it, applied patches from version 393, built the package and tested it. Works well!
