New --uri option enables to specify a URI when creating a network boot entry.
This requires support in libefiboot, which is provided by version 39 (PR rhboot/efivar#217).

No urgency, but this will need to be rebased at some point.

Hello, can I ask how this is supposed to work? Do I specify HTTP EFI Boot URL via DHCPv4 stack so the system will boot it after the next reboot? Will it do just once, or is this permanent change? Can I use this also to PXE EFI? And most importantly - is this supported by all systems or some kind of extension?
