Support SSL

[danasilver]

Support an https endpoint (https://www.middcourses.com) and redirect all http traffic.

Involves purchasing a certificate, adding an SSL endpoint on Heroku, reconfiguring DNS (Route 53) to point to the SSL endpoint, and making sure all external requests (S3, CDNs) go to https.

Single domain certificate means moving the static files server from static.middcourses.com to middcoursesstatic.s3.amazonaws.com or something similar on Cloudfront.

Single domain certificates are as cheap as $20/year, compared to wildcard certificates at $100/year. ($8.33/month isn't really that bad, though.)
