Google Maps v3 and Forced SSL

[bobzilla]

We're doing some sprucing up: the web maps have been converted to Google Maps v3 (the older version is going away soon). We're also redirecting all traffic to ssl for anyone crazy enough to not be https'ing their way in. We've also fixed OpenStreetMap tile rendering. Let us know if you notice any issues.

Great job!

I miss the search box though, it was a quick and easy way to change country or city.

Yeah, google dropped support for that, despite the bugs opened wanting it back, including one of mine. They say you could build your own, but the project that tried that stopped working due to other maps changes. We could probably build our own with the OpenStreetMaps Nominatim copy that we run locally, it's on the todo list.
