[IPython-dev] submodules over https

[MinRK]

Maybe I am overestimating how many users actually want IPython to be
installable from their own fork, rather than only ever being valid after
merging into master.  I don't mean to say that maintaining separate
`components` is difficult, but it is tedious and unintuitive.

Let's give relative URL a shot for now, and revisit the issue if there are
actual problems (not counting the one I ran into when trying to write
exactly this PR).
