Force usage of HTTPS for Google services.
This is effectively a revert of http://crrev.com/136205 , switching back to searchdomaincheck "format=domain" from "format=url", but this time using HTTPS instead of HTTP. Note that in general this should have no visible effect, since for Chrome 25+ searchdomaincheck is supposed to be sending "https..." URLs anyway. The only difference is that, if searchdomaincheck is never accessed, the "out of the box" default value for the Google homepage switches from "http://www.google.com/" to "https://www.google.com/". This shouldn't cause any additional bustage to existing users, since Google search over HTTP will just redirect to HTTPS anyway, so anyone whose network doesn't support HTTPS accesses is already seeing broken behavior. (For the same reason, this means even the "out of the box default" change noted above shouldn't really be visible to end users.) It's still possible for users to "downgrade" Google searches to HTTP using the nosslsearch mechanism, but that's not in scope for Chrome to address.
