We have a few outstanding linux/linux-restricted modules DKMS related
issues.

1) the fixes to use the librarian are incomplete for ports architectures
which are firewalled from the librarian on https.  Fix this by
introducing a new file-downloader helper which converts these URLs to
http which are permitted,

2) The Nvidia modules need to have versioned provides to allow them to
replace the relevant dkms packages,

3) Introduces signed wireguard modules.  This is included in this series
as it is dependant on the versioned provides support above.

There is a cranky-fix update coming which will help propogate the
necessary packaging changes to derivatices.

These are presented as two pull requests, the first for focal:linux-5.4
and the second for focal:linux-restricted-modulees-5.4.

Proposing for focal for fuller testing.
