refactor(serve): Improve URL handling and add SSL support

Refactor the serve.ts file to improve URL handling and add support for SSL. This includes importing the 'http' and 'https' modules, creating a server based on the SSL configuration, and updating the startListening function to use the appropriate protocol. This change enhances the URL sanitization and routing in serve.js for SSR, and also handles encoded URLs in SSR for Gatsby. The code changes also fix linting issues and improve URL logging and error handling. The commit message follows the established convention of using a verb in the imperative mood, specifying the area of the code being modified, and providing a concise summary of the changes made.
