Add HTTP support about seq-input-gelf HOT 2 OPEN

Looks to me like a JSON string of the gelf record. The pygelf library referred to in the SEQ documentation appears to just create a json string the same as it sends to the TCP or UDP.

The graylog HTTP ingest documentation is available here:
https://go2docs.graylog.org/5-0/getting_in_log_data/ingest_gelf.html

I would imagine desirable features would include the path being specified and if a certificate path is valid that the server was hosted as a HTTPS similar to how TLS is implemented. Personally, I can handle pathing and https via a reverse proxy, but others may want to host directly.

Hi @BenGrn 👋

Thanks for the suggestion! Adding HTTP support would be handy. It's not part of the GELF spec though so far as I can tell. Do most endpoints just accept the same line-delimited format as TCP? Are there any standard headers or content types used or expected?
