This was filed as bug 31432 and then duped to this bug. To accomplish this
securely, we would need to do the following:
* When logging in over HTTPS and the pref is set, set the login cookies
securely (as always) but set an insecure cookie that specifies that the user
wants HTTPS
* On every HTTP request, check for the presence of this cookie and redirect to
HTTPS if so. This also requires that the name of this cookie be added to the
XVO header.

It appears that Liangent (in filing bug 31432) and Ryan (through an in-person
conversation with me) both came up with the same plan separately.
