  Changed paths:
    M usr/share/rear/lib/bootloader-functions.sh

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Update bootloader-functions.sh

Due to the performance issues involved when using TFTP for file transfer modern PXE server support HTTP(s) downloads as well.
Since it is necessary for rear to mount the upload target during creating of the rescue information HTTP targets are not supported. Hence the url specified via $PXE_TFTP_URL used for nfs, sshfs upload and TFTP download may differ from the HTTP source offered by the same PXE server.

Therefore the change introduces a new config variable $PXE_HTTP_URL to specify explicitly the HTTP download source for PXE.
If the variable is set the PXE config file will generate an additional 3rd boot option besides the unchanged standard option "rear" (via TFTP) and "local". Namely "rear-http" which includes the HTTP url information to download the kernel and initrd data.

  Merge pull request #2738 from Flunkyball/patch-1

Support for HTTP sources when using PXE:
There is a new config variable PXE_HTTP_URL to specify the HTTP download source for PXE.
If the variable is set the PXE config file will generate an additional 3rd boot option
(besides the unchanged standard options "rear" via TFTP and "local") namely "rear-http"
which includes the HTTP URL information to download the kernel and initrd data.
