IEEE VIS should use HTTPS

I just realized that ieeevis.org isn't reachable over HTTPS. I noticed it because I was blocked by mimecast after clicking on a link in a VIS email. Unencrypted websites are getting quite uncommon and they're easily caught in general blocks to avoid phishing, etc.
Setting up HTTPS is really easy these days, and also free. https://letsencrypt.org/ is a great way to do it, for example.

www.ieeevis.org is updated as well as the staging site. I can't update the wildcard *.ieeevis.org certificate we currently use to guard those and the virtual site without some downtime. I set a reminder to do this work around Nov 13th.
