COPYING, LICENSES: Refresh GPLv3 text.

* The GPL text now uses the HTTPS URL schema instead of HTTP, and
  alters the location of the "why-not-lgpl" link.

* LICENSES: Update date of GPL text retrieval.  Drop sentence, already
  inaccurate, about FSF office postal address being present in license
  text--it wasn't, and isn't.  Relocate "further information" sentence
  accordingly.  Update "copyleft" and FSF primary URLs to use HTTPS
  instead of HTTP.
