[pve-devel] [PATCH installer v4 24/30] auto-installer: fetch: add http plugin to fetch answer

[Aaron Lauterer <a.lauterer@proxmox.com>]

This plugin will send a HTTP POST request with identifying sysinfo to
fetch an answer file. The provided sysinfo can be used to identify the
system and generate a matching answer file on demand.

The URL to send the request to, can be defined in two ways. Via a custom
DHCP option or a TXT record on a predefined subdomain, relative to the
search domain received via DHCP.

Additionally it is possible to specify a SHA256 SSL fingerprint. This
can be useful if a self-signed certificate is used or the URL is using
an IP address instead of an FQDN. Even with a trusted cert, it can be
used to pin this specific certificate.

The certificate fingerprint can either be placed on the `proxmoxinst`
partition and needs to be called `cert_fingerprint.txt`, or it can be
provided in a second custom DHCP option or a TXT record.
