 This patch changes the `get_avatar()` function in `wp-
 includes/pluggable.php` to use protocol relative URLs instead of
 attempting to detect whether the blog is running over SSL or not.

 The `//gravatar.com/...` links will use HTTP if the page is loaded over
 HTTP, or HTTPS is the page is loaded over HTTPS. These URLs are widely
 supported - they'll even work on IE6.

 This is preferable as the current code will not work if Apache (or
 whichever server Wordpress is running on) is not the same server as the
 one doing SSL.
