Speculatively performs SSL/TLS handshakes for hovered links to speed up browsing.

Accelerates browsing to secure websites by performing SSL/TLS handshakes in advance right before the links are actually clicked.
The TSL handshake is a lengthy, multi-roundtrip process that initiates a secure connection between the client and server. It includes negotiation of ciphers, generation of private keys, exchange and authentication of public keys, certificates and symmetric keys. The script will try to perform that in advance by sending a HEAD request to the base path of the host when a secure link is hovered. When the link is eventually loaded, the browser will either perform an abbreviated handshake or none at all.
This is still experimental. Feedback is welcomed!
