[Tagging] consider website=www.openstreetmap.org to be OK

[Hauke Stieler]

Hi,

I encountered websites, that *only* worked using either http or https. Meaning 
I encountered websites that were unreachable using https and I also had some 
that were unreachable using http. 

One example is https://kletterschuhwerk.de which doesn't work, but http://
kletterschuhwerk.de does.

Same with "www." in front of the domain: https://inf.uni-hamburg.de doesn't 
work but https://www.inf.uni-hamburg.de does.

I think it's pretty important to specify the scheme and full domain even if it 
doesn't matter as in the "openstreetmap.org" case where every combination 
works. So I wouldn't change the current wiki page.
