Bug 23130: Fix alternative mana server URL in etc/koha-conf.xml

If the alternative mana KB server URL in etc/koha-conf.xml is used it
causes an error message like 'malformed JSON string, neither tag,
array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before
"<html>\r\n<head><tit...") at /usr/share/perl5/JSON.pm line 171.' when
submitting an account creation request, and the account creation
request fails.

This patch updates the alternative mana KB server URL in
etc/koha-conf.xml from http://mana-test.koha-community.org to
https://mana-test.koha-community.org (the URL should start with https
instead of http). If the updated URL is used the account creation
request succeeds without causing any error messages.

To test:
1) Add <mana_config>http://mana-test.koha-community.org</mana_config> to
   /etc/koha/sites/<instancename>/koha-conf.xml (see etc/koha-conf.xml
   in the Koha code repository for an example of where to add this;
   <instancename> if using koha-testing-docker is kohadev).
2) Clear memcached and restart services so that the changes to your Koha
   instance configuration are recognised (if using koha-testing-docker
   run flush_memcached and then restart_all).
3) From the staff client home page go to Koha administration >
   Additional parameters > Share content with Mana KB.
4) Enable content sharing: change 'Use Mana KB for sharing content' to
   Yes and press Save.
5) Enter your first name, last name and email address in the Configure
   Mana KB section of the page and then click on 'Send to Mana KB'.
6) An error message is displayed, this may be something like:
   'malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string
   or atom, at character offset 0 (before "<html>\r\n<head><tit...") at
   /usr/share/perl5/JSON.pm line 171.'
7) Change the mana server URL to https://mana-test.koha-community.org
   (see step 1), and repeat steps 2, 3 and 5.
8) Instead of an error message you should get 'You successfully created
   your Mana KB account. Check your mailbox and follow instructions.'
