basic implementation to enable remote iri over https

[heavyengineer]

These changes enable the user to supply an https url for the remote iri.
This works by adding two options to the configuration - provider and protocol. This enables the user to supply a single configuration string e.g. "https://field.carriota.com:443" or the current way with host, port and now protocol. The existing configuration options will still work.
If host is populated, then port and protocol are optional and default to port 80 and http:
When the request to the remote iri service begins it uses the appropriate http or https method.
I haven't supplied any tests yet but will if i continue to build on the s/w.
