[Bug 1787630] [NEW] Include HTTP support in pre-build GRUB module

[Lee Trager]

Public bug reported:

GRUB has builtin support for HTTP via http.mod. This module is not being
included in the prebuild grubnetx64.efi. All that should be required is
adding the http module. I also suggest building grubnetx64.efi using
GRUB modules to include lvm and RAID support to allow grubnetx64.efi to
local boot in all situations.
