Conversation
Fixes issue where setting archlinux_mirror to an HTTPS URL would result in malformed URLs like http://https://mirror.example.com/... Changes: - Remove hardcoded http:// prefix from archiso_http_srv parameter - Remove hardcoded http:// prefix from kernel URL - Remove hardcoded http:// prefix from initrd URL - Add http:// prefix to default archlinux mirror for backward compatibility Now respects the protocol specified in the archlinux_mirror configuration, allowing both HTTP and HTTPS mirrors to work correctly.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes an issue where setting archlinux_mirror to an HTTPS URL would result in malformed URLs due to hardcoded http:// prefixes. The fix removes the hardcoded protocol prefixes from the template and adds the protocol to the default mirror value for backward compatibility.
- Removes hardcoded
http://prefixes from the Arch Linux iPXE template - Adds
http://protocol prefix to the default Arch Linux mirror configuration - Aligns Arch Linux mirror handling with other distributions in the codebase

Inconsistent variable usage: this line uses real_archlinux_mirror while lines 40-41 use archlinux_mirror. In static IP configurations, real_archlinux_mirror contains the resolved IP address from the nslookup command (line 18), but with the protocol prefix now included in archlinux_mirror, the nslookup will fail. This could cause the archiso_http_srv parameter to receive an unresolved hostname with protocol prefix in static IP scenarios, potentially breaking the boot process.
