Description
Right now it's possible to install a *.xip file from a local FS. It will be great to be able to install Xcode from a remote URL. I see two benefits of it:
- Faster install since the URL can be in the local network of a company.
- Somewhat workaround for #141. For CI purposes Xcode XIPs can be located in the same network as CI nodes.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing local filesystem path for installing a *.xip file; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Done means the CLI can install an Xcode *.xip from a remote URL, including a URL on a local company network, while preserving the existing local-file behavior.
