QEMU/KVM already allows an HTTP URL for the cdrom ISO image so add this support
to libvirt as well.
The xml should be as following:

     <disk type='network' device='cdrom'>
       <source protocol='http' name='/url/path'>
         <host name='host.name' port='80'/>
       </source>
     </disk>

This is not right. -cdrom is legacy syntax we should never be using
anymore.
Right. I will do that using -drive and resend.

This is bogus too for the same reason.
