Remove ancient reference to deprecated plugin; add details of new "login through HTTPS only" feature

PermRedirectPlugin

@@ -5 +5 @@
 == Description ==
 
-Similar to the AuthRequiredPlugin, but considerably more intelligent in that it will only redirect on a failure.
+This plugin provides two features related to login:
+
+ * When an anonymous user attempts to visit a page that he does not have access to, he will be sent to the login screen instead of seeing Trac's built-in "Permission Error: maybe you should log in" page.
+ * The plugin can also be configured to ensure that all access to the login screen occurs over HTTPS.
+
+These features are independent of one another -- you can install the plugin to provide either feature, or both.

+This will enable the "redirect to login screen on permission error" feature.  The "HTTPS only" feature will not be enabled.
+
+To additionally enable the "HTTPS only" feature, use:
+{{{
+[permredirect]
+redirect_login_https = true

+To enable the "HTTPS only" feature and disable the "redirect to login screen on permission error" feature, use:
