Comment:

 Reminder: Let's incorporate the ideas from
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/47577#comment:25 in here.

 * Add constant and function so that hosts can provide a custom URL to
 update the site to HTTPS.
 * Modify default action so that it will update the URLs immediately,
 perform a loopback request to check if it works, and then redirect back
 with a notice.

 Both of these simplify what a user needs to do. A simple action button is
 much easier than changing two URLs from HTTP to HTTPS.

 We'll also need to cater for the case though where the two URLs are
 defined with a constant (`WP_HOME` and `WP_SITEURL`). In this scenario,
 we'll need to show a message that automatically changing the URL is not
 possible. Let's think about good wording for this and what links could be
 potentially helpful.
