 We should not store the protocol of files in the database.
 Instead of `http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/image.png` we could strip
 the protocol while saving the entry and save it as `//mysite.com/wp-
 content/uploads/image.png` instead.
 This will make http/https issues a lot easier to address, and hopefully
 ease migrations to HTTPS.
 There are a bunch of plugins out there that can do this, but they
 shouldn't have to... This is something that can be done in-core a lot more
 efficiently for everyone.
