feat: support XRootD as a default remote provider

[ryuwd]

Description

It is currently not possible to specify --default-remote-provider=XRootD on the command line, and by extension when using a snakemake profile that uses XRootD remote storage.

QC

• The PR contains a test case for the changes or the changes are already covered by an existing test case.
• The documentation (docs/) is updated to reflect the changes or this is not necessary (e.g. if the change does neither modify the language nor the behavior or functionalities of Snakemake).

@chrisburr since you are the original author of the XRootD remote provider, do you have any thoughts on this?

I initially started work on this to see if I could use this for running snakemake workflows at the CERN grid site, but have since started writing a remote file provider for Dirac instead.

Do you think this change would be useful? (and does my meddling with the paths break anything?)

Edit: I have tested on lxplus to see if it works with LHCb EOS and it seems to work fine to me.

To me, this looks good.

@chrisburr do you want to give this is final look?
