For rpm-ostree, we already link to libcurl indirectly via librepo, and
only having one HTTP library in process makes sense.
Further, libcurl is (I think) more popular in the embedded space. It
also supports HTTP/2.0 today, which is a *very* nice to have for OSTree.
This seems to be working fairly well for me in my local testing, but it's
obviously brand new nontrivial code, so it's going to need some soak time.
The ugliest part of this is having to vendor in the soup-url code. With
Oxidation we could follow the path of Firefox and use the
[Servo URL parser](https://github.com/servo/rust-url). Having to redo
cookie parsing also sucked, and that would also be a good oxidation target.
But that's for the future.
