Can the jobserver act as the client as well? #3

Can the jobserver, properly configured, act as a client as well? This eliminates the need for a separate code base and instead pushes that to jobserver plugins.

After some initial investigation, it seems pxelinux > 5.10-ish can handle http requests, and will handle 302 redirects. I think we can use this method to completely eliminate image sync and root switches, closing this issue in favor of that path. If it doesn't pan out, this can be revisited.
