 Security, Site Health: Improve accuracy in messaging about HTTPS support.

 Following up on [49904], this changeset focuses mainly on improving the
 guidance about the current state of HTTPS in Site Health.

 * Correct the existing copy to indicate that both the Site Address and the
 WordPress Address need to be changed to fully switch to HTTPS.
 * Link to the respective input fields via anchor links rather than to the
 overall General Settings screen.
 * Show different copy if the site is using HTTPS for the WordPress Address
 (for example to have only the administration panel in HTTPS), but not for
 the Site Address.
 * Inform the user about potential problems even when the site is already
 using HTTPS, for example if the SSL certificate was no longer valid.
 * Always rely on fresh information for determining HTTPS support issues in
 Site Health, and therefore change the `https_status` test to become
 asynchronous.
 * Rename the new private `wp_is_owned_html_output()` function to a more
 appropriate `wp_is_local_html_output()`.
