[bug#35083] [PATCH] gnu: kodi: Allow connecting to HTTPS sources.

A little while ago I installed Kodi using Guix, and when I started 
it I got a number of errors from addons attempting to update and 
failing. I also tried to install a new addon repository which 
similarly failed. A few days after my attempt, someone posted on 
Reddit with the same problem[1].

Looking at the logs, I think the issue is that Kodi isn't setting 
the libcurl options necessary to make HTTPS connections. Here's a 
patch to fix that.
