.git/config: binutils "git" link doesn't work behind proxy, suggest changing to "https"

Hi All,

For some users behind a corporate proxy, the git submodules init command is likely to fail, whereas other submodules work without problems:

fatal: clone of 'git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git' into submodule path '/work/riscv-dev-tools/sources/rocket-tools/fsf-binutils-gdb' failed

I would like to suggest replacing the default .git/config binutils link to https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git.
This fixes the problem for me, and will likely help someone else avoid issues when working behind proxy, (hopefully) without impacting anyone negatively.
