Bug Description

As described in bug 1473091, PPAs are now being served from new domains that aren't under launchpad.net and so can safely serve HTTPS without risk of compromising Launchpad session cookies. The old domains will keep working indefinitely, but nevertheless it would be good if we could arrange for add-apt-repository to use the new domains as of 22.04.

The changes are:

 * http://ppa.launchpad.net/ → https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ (or http:// works too, but we should prefer https://)
 * https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ → https://private-ppa.launchpadcontent.net/
