MapWinGIS v4.9.6.1

Hotfix MapWinGIS v4.9.6.1, released July 4th 2018

In the previous version (v4.9.6.0) we updated the OpenStreetMap URL to HTTPS (MWGIS-120), because OSM shutdown the HTTP route. We didn't test this properly. MapWinGIS is using an old HTTPClient which cannot manage HTTPS (MWGIS-5) so now no OSM-tiles are downloaded. Because OSM re-enabled the HTTP route again, we reverted back the change from HTTP to HTTPS and now the OSM tiles are working again.
