UEFI HTTP boot regression from lunar to mantic

[Mate Kukri]

The transition from GRUB 2.06 to GRUB 2.12 didn't originally include the UEFI protocol based network stack required for UEFI HTTP booting, this made UEFI HTTP boot support non-functional.

The patches were forward ported later, and are currently waiting to be merged on Debian Salsa (https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub/-/merge_requests/37). Without these patches, UEFI HTTP boot remains non-functional on GRUB 2.12.

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.12~rc1-12ubuntu2

---------------
grub2 (2.12~rc1-12ubuntu2) noble; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable; remaining changes:
    - Add Ubuntu sbat data
    - build-efi-images: do not produce -installer.efi.signed. LP: 1863994
    - grub-common: Install canonical-uefi-ca.crt
    - Check signatures
    - Support installing to multiple ESP (LP: 1871821)
    - Disable various bits on i386
    - Split out unsigned artefacts into grub2-unsigned
    - Vcs-Git: Point to ubuntu packaging branch
    - Relax dependencies on grub-common and grub2-common
    - grub-pc: Avoid the possibility of breaking grub on SRU update due
      to ABI change
    - UBUNTU: Default timeout changes
    - Revert "Add jfs module to signed UEFI images. Closes: #950959"
    - Revert "Add f2fs module to signed UEFI images"
    - Install grub-initrd-fallback.service again
    - Build using -O1 on s390x to avoid misoptimization
    - grub-check-signatures: Support gzip compressed kernels (LP: #1954683)
    - grub-multi-install: Reset partition type between partitions (LP: #1997795)
    - Drop i386 from grub-efi-amd64* (LP: #2020907)
    - Turn depends on grub-efi-amd64/arm64 unversioned
    - forward port fix for LP: #1926748
    - Make the grub2/no_efi_extra_removable setting work correctly
    - Forward port the fix for LP: #1930742 and make it conditional (xenial/bionic only)
    - Build grub2-unsigned packages with xz compression
    - Revert: "Have -bin packages Break pre-2.12 -signed packages.", this is not
      compatible with our versioning schemes.
    - Install a /usr/lib/grub/grub-sort-version and use that to sort versions as
      it respects GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER. Depend on python3 to do so.
    - rules: Add DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTIONS to generate-grub2-unsigned

Mantic is almost EOL, so I don't think any GRUB backports will be happening, and HTTP boot is rarely used with interim releases anyhow.
