/**
 * Decides whether a self-referential URL goes out as http or https.
 *
 * Sites behind a proxy or load balancer that terminates TLS hand PHP a plain
 * HTTP request, so `is_ssl()` is false and WordPress falls back to whatever
 * scheme `home` was stored with. On a site installed over http and later put
 * behind TLS without anyone updating the option, every URL WordPress builds
 * says `http://` while every visitor is on `https://` — and the canonical tag
 * then tells search engines the wrong address for every page on the site.
 *
 * The site owner frequently cannot fix that at the server level, which is why
 * this is a setting rather than a support answer.
 *
 * Two rules keep it from doing damage of its own:
 *
 *   - **Only this site's own URLs are touched.** A cross-domain canonical the
 *     author typed, a `sameAs` pointing at a social profile, an image on a CDN:
 *     all of them are somebody else's URLs, and forcing our scheme onto them
 *     would break them. Host has to match before anything is rewritten.
 *   - **`automatic` changes nothing at all.** Not "resolves to the current
 *     scheme" — nothing. A site that never opens the setting emits exactly what
 *     WordPress reports, which is what every site did before this existed.
