gh-issue-145305: update ocert.org URLs from http to https

Summary

Two references to http://ocert.org in the documentation now use https:// instead. The site supports HTTPS and these are long-lived documentation links that should use the secure scheme.

Changes

  • Doc/reference/datamodel.rst: updated ocert.org advisory link to HTTPS
  • Doc/using/cmdline.rst: updated the same advisory link to HTTPS (hash randomization docs)

Motivation

Both occurrences reference the same ocert-2011-003 advisory about hash-flooding denial-of-service, used to explain -R / PYTHONHASHSEED. The current HTTP URL results in a redirect; using HTTPS directly is more correct and avoids the redirect.

Closes #145305

  • Issue: docs: update ocert.org URLs from http to https #145305

Fixes python#145295. The ocert.org domain now requires HTTPS. Updated all
references in documentation to use the secure protocol.

The joys of LLM-driven PRs, I've seen and heard of many projects getting duplicate PRs in the past few days... It's getting pretty tiring.

Anyway, this PR wins because the CLA is signed.

Ha, the backports also need the CLA signed for another email.

@indoor47 Please could you sign the CLA with your gmail address?

See https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/pull-request-lifecycle/#why-do-i-need-to-sign-the-cla-again and #145322 (comment).

The joys of LLM-driven PRs, I've seen and heard of many projects getting duplicate PRs in the past few days... It's getting pretty tiring.

Moreover: I've seen commits from old merged PRs from repo maintainers re-submitted and other PRs with "Fixes #some_merged_pr" but containing nothing useful.
