OvmfPkg: Add HttpBoot support
This commit introdues a new build option to OvmfPkg: HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE.
When HttpBoot is enabled, a new Network boot option will show in the
boot manager menu with the device path like this:
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv4(0.0.0.0)/Uri()
It works like the PXE one but fetches the NBP from the given http
url instead of the tftp service.
A simple testing environment can be set up with the QEMU tap network
and dnsmasq + lighttpd.
Here is the example of the dnsmasq config:
interface=<tap interface>
dhcp-range=192.168.111.100,192.168.111.120,12h
dhcp-option=60,"HTTPClient"
dhcp-boot="http://<tap ip>/<efi file>"
It's similar to the PXE server settings except the tftp function is
disabled, the option 60 must be "HTTPClient", and the boot uri is a
http url.
