When using file:// mirrors, rootfs.py will spawn a local HTTP server at 127.0.0.1. In combination with --qemu, this poses a problem: downloads on the host machine will work, but downloads on the guest machine will not reach the local server. This commit introduces a change to rewrite the address to 10.0.2.2 inside the guest, only when QEMU=True is set in the configuration, allowing this combination to build past the get_network improvement step.
