#3816: Census site now using https SSLV3

 Priority:  medium          |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.3.4
Component:  tiger geocoder  |    Version:  2.3.x

 In testing it looks like census has standardized on https.

 In the tiger.loader_variables, we currently have site set to:

 http://www2.census.gov

 which ends up redirecting to

 https://www2.census.gov

 So this should be changed to avoid the redirect.

 In doing so I realized old wget listed in our manual -
 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm does not support SSLv3.

 But I did find a newer one from:

 https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

 that does support SSLv3.

 So I should probably update the windows docs to reflect that.
