Add the ability for --add-to-start= to download a module file, install it, and have it download any extra files it needs too.

This would make adding remote modules easier.

this could possibly be a separate command line (with similar internal behavior)

such as --install-module=

Reopening in light of #12027.

[joakime]

This is not needed to support ...

• There is no org.eclipse.jetty.http2.client package in official jetty-12.0.11 download #12027
• Introduce Jetty module for HTTP/2 client dependencies #12063

[sbordet]

@joakime, you're right.

I created #12170 for #12063, which stemmed from #12027.

Re-closing.

[olamy]

It looks to be a different use case.
My understanding here is a user should be able to use something to install his own jetty modules:

java -jar ../jetty-home-12.0.12/start.jar --add-to-start=https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/foo/jetty/jetty-handler/1.0.0/jetty-handler-10.0-config.jar

with this config file having the usual structure of a module config jar

@olamy ah yes, so re-opening, as it was closed by stalebot.
