CentOS - Jun 2023 - Mirror problems with elfutils-debuginfod-client

The package elfutils-debuginfod-client is needed for even a minimal
install, but it is not available on most mirrors.  I suspect some are
excluding mirroring debuginfo packages with just a *debuginfo* pattern
to rsync, where they should do something like *-debuginfo-*.rpm (which
should be good for now as I don't see any package with just
"debuginfo"
in the name, even in Fedora).

The following mirrors are affected:

centos-stream-distro.1gservers.com
dfw.mirror.rackspace.com
forksystems.mm.fcix.net
ftp-chi.osuosl.org
ftp-nyc.osuosl.org
ftp-osl.osuosl.org
ftpmirror.your.org
iad.mirror.rackspace.com
mirror.datto.com

Sorry, made a mistake in my checking, here's an updated list.  It also
appears that they are just excluding "*debug*", because they don't
have
packages like kernel-debug.

Also, some servers returned in the metalink file have both HTTP and
HTTPS, but HTTP just redirects to HTTPS.  The HTTP should just be
removed as it serves no purpose.

Servers missing elfutils-debuginfod-client:

   forksystems.mm.fcix.net
   ftp-chi.osuosl.org
   ftp-nyc.osuosl.org
   ftp-osl.osuosl.org
   mirror.fcix.net
   mirror.xenyth.net
   nocix.mm.fcix.net
   ohioix.mm.fcix.net
   volico.mm.fcix.net

It's probably because they are syncing from the
'CentOS-Stream-nodebug'
module 
(https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors#CentOS_Stream_9) 
which had a exclude filter maybe going to far (and so excluding *debuginfo*)
It was now modified to include back *debuginfod-client* so in theory (if 
that's really the one they use and that they don't filter it at their 
side), it should appear everywhere soon.
