Add alt code to 2005/mynx and format fix README.md

Instead of the original code scanning for https (which it did not) I
made the version that does an alt code. This should have been done
originally but I did not think about it at the time quite unfortunately.
Still it would be nice to be able to use https with it.

I noted a way that one might be able to get it to work - stunnel, though
it's been years since I've used it so it might not be a solution to the
problem.

Updated .gitignore with files in source/ subdirectory in case configure
is run.

To make sure that make from source/ works I copied the mynx.c to the
source/ directory. I guess I could have updated the configure script but
that seems like it would take more effort than it would be worth.

Format fix README.md.

## STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
[Cody Boone Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) notes that, though
probably obvious, this entry will not work with https. He changed the code to
scan for https too (it exited before) in case someone comes up with a clever
command line to make it work but the problem is a secure connection has to first
be set up in order to give http commands. This is not a bug but it's worth
pointing out as it won't work on as many websites as it used to including the
[IOCCC website](https://www.ioccc.org) itself.
probably obvious, this entry will not work with https. He added an alt version
that scans for https in case someone wants to set up a pipeline or other
workaround (perhaps with stunnel) but the problem otherwise is a secure
connection has to first be set up in order to give http commands. This is not a
bug but it's worth pointing out as it won't work on as many websites as it used
to including the [IOCCC website](https://www.ioccc.org) itself.
