recipetool: create: handle https://....git URLs

When you grab a URL for a github repository you'll almost certainly find
it in https://github.com/path/to/repository.git format; but bitbake's
fetcher can't handle that because it'll see https:// at the start and
assume it should use wget to fetch it. If the URL starts with http:// or
https:// and the path part ends with .git then assume it's a git
repository and adjust it accordingly.
