Log message:
games/exchess: update to 7.97beta

Changes since 7.31beta are unknown since the upstream author didn't
document anything.

I just stumbled upon this package because it didn't build with
-Werror=char-subscripts. That bug seems to have been fixed.

Log message:
all: migrate homepages from http to https

pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"

As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

and several others.
