Replace git through https as transport protocol

Summary

Replace git through https as transport protocol since the latter is p…roxyable

Details

If a developer is required to access the WWW via a HTTP proxy, git cannot be used as transport protocol since it is not proxyable. git is set in https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby/blob/master/Gemfile#L11.

Old:

gem 'cucumber-core', :git => "git://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby-core.git"

New:

gem 'cucumber-core', :git => "https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby-core.git"

There might be other cucumber projects where such a change makes sense.

Motivation and Context

In bigger companies the use of HTTP proxies is quite common. There's not direct access from a laptop/computer to the WWW. Using git as transport protocol is a burden for new developers from such an environment as a local change is required each time they want to send a pull request. Since I've never had any performance impact in using HTTPS instead of GIT, put together this PR.

How Has This Been Tested?

Yes, many times locally.
