[Libosinfo] [osinfo-db-tools PATCH v2 0/2] RFC: Make osinfo-db-import aware of URLs

[Fabiano Fidêncio]

This is a simple draft of a work that has been discussed back in July as
part of this thread[0].

There are a few things which are not clear to me whether we want (or
whether we do *not* want).

For now I'm not using any progress callback to print the download status
and I don't even know whether it would be desired to have. But this is
something that could be easily done.

Also, for now the operation is synchronous and there's no cancellable
used ... but that's something that could be changed (although I don't
see the need for that right now).

In order to give it a try, please, just build our source with the patch
included and try:
./tools/osinfo-db-import https://releases.pagure.org/libosinfo/osinfo-db-20180920.tar.xz
./tools/osinfo-db-import https://foo.bar/foo.bar.tar.xz

Changes since v1:
- Use Gio instead of curl;
- An additional patch removing a unused var;

  import: Learn how to deal with URLs
  import: Remove unused variable
